Archive: plans and product references from January 2018.
At the start of 2018, I was planning visits to South Africa, Australia and New Zealand, alongside a Balqees appearance at Top Drawer in London on 14–16 January 2018. This post records those plans and the honeys that inspired them.
I’m really proud of the raft of raw honey I have collected over the years, not compromising on taste and quality. From single-origin, mono-floral honey, to potent honey fusions to combinations of raw honey here are a few we stock at Balqees.
From the most amazing Yemeni honey from the Sidr tree to Honey and Black Seed, Honey and Saffron and Honey Cinnamon & Sesame to the scrumptious White Mountainous honey from Kyrgyzstan. Honey is a gift to the body and a food culture that connects people. You learn where your food comes from and then learn about the community and country of origin. I’m looking forward to meeting the bee keepers in the Cape and trying their acacia and blue gum varieties and seeing what else I can sniff out.
Later in the year I will be heading to South America to one of the most remotest places on the planet to see for myself the Rare Honey From Argentina On Its Way. Look out for future posts when i will share the taste profiles with you as i go along.
Lovely bees in remote Kyrgyzstan
