Heather Honey
Heather honey is a varietal honey produced from ling heather (Calluna vulgaris) with a distinctive gel-like, thixotropic consistency that requires pressing rather than centrifugal extraction. It has a strong, aromatic flavor and is a specialty of the Lueneburg Heath region in northern Germany. Due to its unique properties and limited availability, heather honey commands premium prices.
