Tasty

Absolutely loved this surprised at the taste had sum on ma toast was enjoyable also tried in my tea was a pleasant twist. Even stirred a spoonful in to sum vodka which I really enjoyed will defo buy more.

Yum!

This didn't seem as blossom flavoured as the non-organic honey I bought as well, BUT it has the most amazing molasses to it. I love it. It came well packaged with biodegradable 'peanuts' which disintegrate to nothing in water. What's not to like!

Lovely flavour and good value

Lovely taste of blossom. I bought in bulk so it was cheaper than similar supermarket stuff, plus I'm happy to be supporting a local business :-)
