Taste
Forest honey offers a complex and multi-flavoured profile, blending both bold and subtle characteristics. The initial taste is gently sweet, gradually evolving into a deeper, herbal, and slightly earthy undertone, which reflects the diverse plants that contribute to its nectar. The sweetness is not overwhelming but is instead balanced and refined, with floral hints from plants like clover and wild strawberry.
 
As the flavour develops, a distinctive, tangy note emerges, providing a bright contrast to the initial sweetness. This tang is often attributed to wild berries like blueberry and raspberry, which balance the honey’s sweetness and prevent it from feeling overly sugary. The aftertaste is smooth and complex, leaving behind a mild, astringent finish that is characteristic of many forest plants. This creates a clean, refreshing sensation on the palate, with deeper wood and herbal notes coming forward as the honey settles, making it particularly appealing to those who enjoy honey with a layered and nuanced flavour profile.
 
Aroma
The aroma of forest honey is one of its most captivating qualities, shaped by the wide variety of plants from which the nectar is collected. Upon first encountering it, one is greeted with a rich, sweet fragrance that carries faint earthy undertones, reminiscent of walking through a lush forest filled with wildflowers and fresh foliage. The scent possesses a distinct floral quality, both sweet and slightly spicy, with the presence of plants like hawthorn, meadowsweet, and linden flowers lending it a warm, comforting character.
 
As the aroma deepens, more complex layers begin to unfold. Subtle berry notes, from plants such as blueberry and raspberry, add a fruity dimension to the scent. These are complemented by herbal undertones from fireweed and wild raspberry, which enhance the honey’s aromatic profile. There is also a mild medicinal quality in the aroma, derived from plants like angelica and wild rosemary, adding depth and a calming effect. The result is an aroma that evokes the essence of an ancient forest, full of fresh air and wild beauty, capturing the spirit of the land where it was harvested.

It is rich in essential body vitamins (A, E, B1, K, B2, PP, B6, C) and irreplaceable microelements. The product also contains antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, enzymes, and amino acids, which contribute to its beneficial properties. The recommended hydrogen peroxide, acidic pH, and low moisture level of honey provide longevity with antibacterial and antiseptic qualities. Natural compounds derived from the diverse array of flowers in its composition contribute to its mild antispasmodic effects, potentially calming the body and alleviating stress and tension. A well-known valuable property of forest honey is its ability to relieve fatigue, combat the effects of stress, and eliminate nervous tension. Regular consumption of this honey helps alleviate irritation and fatigue, provides a noticeable boost in vitality, improves mood, and gives a surge of energy. It also helps increase haemoglobin levels in the blood, which is essential for treating anaemia.
