Join us as we explore why this remarkable Welsh Wildflower Honey has earned its reputation as Wales' liquid gold.
From Mountain Blooms to Your Table
The journey of Snowdonia Honey begins with the extraordinary flora that thrives in this protected Welsh landscape. Unlike mass-produced varieties, our honey reflects the changing seasons and the diverse plant life that makes Snowdonia unique. Each jar tells the story of the mountains, capturing flavors impossible to replicate elsewhere.
Our bees forage freely across protected wildflower meadows, heather moorlands, and ancient woodlands. This diverse diet creates a honey with complex flavor notes that change subtly throughout the seasons – from the delicate floral hints of spring to the robust, malty character of late summer heather honey.
Why Is Snowdonia Honey So Special?
"The terroir of Snowdonia creates honey with a complexity and depth that simply cannot be matched by mass-produced varieties. It's the taste of wild Wales in a jar."

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Snowdonia Honey raw and unprocessed?
Yes, our Snowdonia Honey is raw and minimally processed. We gently filter to remove any large particles of wax or propolis, but we never heat the honey above natural hive temperatures. This preserves all the beneficial enzymes, pollen, and natural properties that make raw honey so special.
Is your honey suitable for vegans?
Honey is an animal product and therefore not considered vegan. However, we practice ethical beekeeping where the welfare of our bees always comes first. We harvest only excess honey and ensure our colonies have ample stores for their own needs.
What's the difference between runny and soft set honey?
Both varieties contain exactly the same honey with identical properties and benefits. The difference is purely in texture. Runny honey flows freely, while soft set honey has been carefully crystallized to create a smooth, spreadable consistency that won't drip off your spoon. The choice is simply a matter of personal preference and intended use.
How long does your honey last?
Properly stored honey has an indefinite shelf life. Archaeological discoveries have found edible honey in ancient Egyptian tombs! To maintain optimal quality, we recommend consuming within two years of purchase. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. If your honey crystallises (a natural process), gently warm the jar in warm water to return it to a liquid state. hampers item
