Which honey suits each dish?

The best choice depends on flavour intensity, aroma and texture.

Lime and multiflower honey are aromatic yet easy to pair with lemon, herbs and delicate infusions.

Multiflower, creamed rapeseed and goldenrod honey work well with fruit, nuts, yoghurt and oats.

Heather, buckwheat and honeydew honey pair well with mature, blue and goat cheese.

Buckwheat honey suits gingerbread and spiced cakes, while multiflower honey is a good choice for lighter bakes.

Choose milder honey for delicate dishes and darker, stronger varieties for cheese, coffee, cocoa and warming spices.
