Die Honigwanderer Spring Honey. Organic blossom honey from the first nectar flow of the year – mild, floral, and light gold.
Die Honigwanderer Spring Honey is a mild organic blossom honey from the first flowers of the year, harvested by German migratory beekeepers. Unheated, gently extracted and strained, in a 250g jar, certified according to EU organic standards.
Spring honey from Die Honigwanderer tastes like the weeks when everything begins anew outside. In April and May, fruit trees bloom, dandelions shine in the meadows, and the first shrubs open along hedges and forest edges. For the bees, this is the early spring nectar flow, the first major source of food after winter. What they collect during this time ends up in this jar. Unlike a monofloral honey, it comes from many different blossoms. It therefore tastes a little different every year, depending on what is currently in bloom. Honeys from the early nectar flow often set quickly. For this reason, they are frequently stirred during crystallization until fine crystals form and the honey becomes creamy.
Flavor
The producer describes this honey as mild and floral. It captures the first major bloomers of the year: fruit trees, dandelions, meadow herbs, and spring shrubs. The color is light gold, the flavor harmonious.
The sweetness is delicate and not overwhelming. In the background are fresh, floral notes that recall a meadow in May. Because many blossoms come together, it feels round and balanced rather than one-dimensional.
According to the producer, it is cream-stirred. It is therefore easy to spread and does not drip from bread. Those looking for a liquid honey for drizzling will be less happy with the creamy consistency. There are other varieties in the assortment for that.
Usage
The producer calls it a versatile family honey, and that is how you should use it. At the breakfast table, it belongs on buttered bread, a roll, or toast. Thanks to its creamy consistency, it is also easy for children to spread.
It dissolves well in porridge, muesli, or yogurt if you stir it in briefly. It also melts in warm tea or warm milk, though you should let hot drinks cool down a bit first. In the kitchen, it is suitable for pancake batter, waffles, braided yeast bread, and for a mild honey-mustard dressing. A spoonful also goes well with fresh goat cheese and fresh strawberries.
Store the jar in a cool, dry place away from light. If you need the honey in liquid form, place the jar in a warm water bath, at most 40 °C.
Note: The only ingredient is organic honey; it does not contain any major allergens that require labeling. Honey is generally not suitable for babies under twelve months old.
Our tip: Spread the honey on a fresh roll with a thin layer of butter and sprinkle a few thyme leaves on top. This brings out the meadow notes.
Origin
Migratory beekeeping means that the bees do not stay in the same place all year round. Throughout the season, the beekeepers move the colonies to where nature is in full bloom. The early spring nectar flow is the first stop of the beekeeping year. Later in the year, nectar flows like locust (acacia), linden, and summer blossoms follow. At Die Honigwanderer, the colonies are placed in selected, near-natural foraging areas in Germany, far away from intensive agriculture.
The partner apiaries work according to EU organic guidelines and prioritize the well-being of the bees. The honey is extracted, strained, and processed without heating. Today, the brand belongs to the Goldnote apiary in Röhrnbach in the Bavarian Forest, which continues it as an organic line.
For whom
This honey is for everyone looking for a mild, spreadable honey for the family table. It goes well with Sunday breakfast, in a lunchbox, and as a small Easter gift, preferably together with a homemade braided yeast bread. Also mild but liquid is the acacia honey. For something stronger and fruity-spicy, try the summer honey. You can find all varieties on our Die Honigwanderer page. It is not suitable if you are looking for a strong, dark honey for savory dishes.
