This batch of honey, collected by the Apis cerana indica bees (Indian honey bee),is from an ongoing harvest which began in the second week of March 2021. This harvest is expected to last until the end of April. The honey extracted is from multi culture plantations around the foothills of Brahmagiri Forest on the Kerala side.

This honey is rich in variety of sources and possesses a complex set of flavors infused by the climate, it’s topography, the season and it’s derived vegetation. Most of the honey available in the market these days is collected by breeds of honey bees that require mono-culture vegetation to thrive and is therefore flat in flavor.

Storage care

  • Honey must be stored in sterilized air tight glass bottles at room temperature. Do not refrigerate.
  • Honey must never be brought into contact with contaminated utensils like unclean or used spoons.
  • Honey must never be stored in a kitchen where it’s typically hot and humid. Dark, hot and humid locations speed up fermentation.
  • Fermentation is inevitable over a longer period of time. Fermentation makes the honey taste a bit sour. When this happens the easiest way to reclaim the original flavor is to place the bottle in sunlight for 30 minutes to an hour.
  • Crystallization is a natural occurrence for pure honey. If crystals form set container in warm water until crystals disappear

Harvest Info

This batch of honey is from the first harvest of 2023 which began in March. Honey is collected from areas adjoining the Bramhagiri Forest range in the foothills of Coorg mountain range and adjacent to the Kerala state border. This honey is collected by the Apis cerana indica bees (Indian honey bee). These types of honey bees are indigenous to the south Asian region and found most commonly in Kerala and adjoining areas. The hives are set up in wooden boxes and spread in an area with density of not more than 20 hive boxes in 1 acre. The unique attribute of honey collected by these bees is that they require diversity in flaura for them to flourish. Most of the honey available in the market these days is collected by breeds of honey bees that require mono-culture vegetation to thrive. The honey we provide is therefore rich in variety and possesses a complex set of flavors infused by the climate and it's derived vegetation. This seasons' batch will be infused with honey collected from the blooming flowers of coconut palms cashew trees mango trees cocoa plants rubber trees areca nut garcinia cambogia coffee plants and other wild trees found in the forests region.

Processing Information

The panels from each box hive is collected manually with utmost care to not harm the bees or destroy the colonies. The panels are individually placed in a portable centrifugal extractor and the honey is extracted and collected in barrel and transferred to the processing unit. The benefits of this approach is that the extraction does not damage the hive which facilitates better regeneration of honey in the same panel. The honey is filtered using just a muslin cloth during this stage. This ensures that substantial pollen is retained in the honey. Once the honey reaches the processing unit it is filtered once again using a finer multi-layered muslin cloth to remove other contaminants. The quantity of pollen in the honey must also be regulated during this stage because pollen and humidity speeds up fermentation of honey thereby altering its flavor. This is one of the reasons why our honey does not enjoy extended shelf life like the other major honey marketing companies. Popular brands's processing phase involves micro-filtering (removes all traces of pollen) as well as pasteurization (removing bacterial spores by heating). Pasteurization is unimaginably detrimental to preserving the true flavor of honey. Once lost it can only be reclaimed using artificial additives.
