World Of Honey
Not Sure Which Jar to Pick?
This honey guide runs through our rare honey varieties in Wales: Acacia stays runny and delicate, a gentle first step for anyone who finds honey too strong, and fennel carries a soft aniseed lift that suits yoghurt and warm milk. Clover brings the mild, buttery sweetness most people picture when they think of honey, while goldenrod turns richer and slightly spiced.
At the darker end, chestnut is bold and faintly bitter, a proper partner for blue cheese, cured meats, sourdough, and strong coffee. Forest honey, gathered from tree sap rather than blossom, is malty and deep. Hawthorn and indigo bush sit between the two, floral but with more body. Black seed honey is the one to reach for when you want something earthy and peppery.
Every jar here is pure honey, unblended and left as it came from the comb. Llangattock Apiaries chooses each variety for taste, not trend.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are these honeys from your own Welsh hives?
No. Our Welsh honey sits in the main Honey category. The World of Honey range comes from beekeepers abroad who work the way we do, which is how we can offer flowers that never bloom in the Usk Valley.
Does a darker honey mean a stronger honey?
Usually, yes. Pale honeys such as acacia are light and floral. Darker ones such as chestnut and forest carry more minerals and a heavier, sometimes bitter finish that stands up to savoury food.
What is a single-flower honey?
It means the bees worked mainly one flower, so the jar tastes of that plant rather than of a blend. That is why chestnut and acacia taste nothing alike, even though both are honey.
Which should I try first if I only want one jar?
Clover or acacia. Both are gentle and familiar, and they give you a baseline to judge the bolder varieties against later.
