All our premium comb honey pieces are made in the wild by bees, without any human intervention. The absence of metal wire and embossed wax sheet gives you unparalleled pleasure when biting into it. Very high quality and very rare product. To be sure that you are buying quality comb honey, you need to look at four things:
1. the wooden frame must be new and natural in color (it turns black when used several times and years in a row),
2. There must not be a metal wire passing in the middle of the spoke,
3. Inside the comb, there should not be a sheet of wax (if there is, you will feel the crunchy effect when consuming it),
4. the small cells of the frame must be filled and plain at least 90-95%, or more.
WHAT IS KINGS’ HONEY?
It is said that “He who has not bitten into a bee comb does not know the true taste of honey!” and that he who has not bitten into the honeycomb of Kings does not yet have sufficiently educated taste buds...
The entire piece weighs approximately 2.0-2.2 kg. Organic wild honey.
However, honey on the shelf has become very rare and few of us have been able to have the unique pleasure of biting into cells of white wax and feeling the virgin honey escaping from them in the mouth, causing an explosion of flavors. Let us briefly recall how the honey that we are used to consuming in jars is produced. On harvest day, the frames in which the bees have built wax cells and stored the honey are brought to the honey house. The frame is then uncapped: this involves opening the small cells of honey that the bees have closed to better preserve it.
Why is on-shelf honey an exceptional product?
Just because Honey on the shelf has not undergone any destructive operations described previously: no mechanical shock, no thermal shock: it thus fully retains all its flavor but also all its nutritional qualities.
