Who is buckwheat honey for?

  • If you want the most antioxidants

    It stands alongside the renowned manuka honey.

  • Be a master chef

    The choice of world-renowned chefs in creating their top-notch desserts.

  • Because natural and pure is best

    Where people go on vacation, our bees go to work - from the sunny and peaceful place of Lendava, located on the plains of Styria. This region, far from the hustle and bustle of the city, noise and smog, offers an ideal environment where nature remains pure and untouched.

Some examples of what buckwheat honey is good for:

  • Sweetening lemonade for easy intake of natural nutrients.

  • Rich in iron for added vitality support.

  • Indispensable in baking sweets, where it provides a characteristic, distinct honey aroma.

  • With goat cheese

Buckwheat honey was called Guinness honey because of its color; less sweet than wildflower honey, it has an earthy, malty aroma and flavor that is sometimes compared to toasted caramel. Dober Tek magazine writer Aleks describes buckwheat honey as intense and tells readers they'll love it because it's "really great" and "funky" when paired with goat cheese. It's delicious in your favorite brownie or muffin recipe and drizzled over pancakes, waffles or ice cream, and it's amazing added to yogurt or whiskey cocktails.

Traditionally highly prized in Slavic, other Eastern European and even Jewish communities, this is a completely different honey experience than most are used to, and we want the whole world to have the opportunity to enjoy what our premium mellifera buckwheat honey has to offer. So what are you waiting for?

Is buckwheat honey suitable for children?

As with other types of honey, honey is not recommended for children under one year of age due to the risk of botulism. However, buckwheat honey can provide valuable nutrients, such as minerals and antioxidants, to older children.

The quality of Slovenian honey

The next big advantage of the Slovenian beekeeper's honey is that it has not traveled long distances . The product of these very long distances, often incorrect storage and mixing of honey from different parts of the world pose a significant risk that the quality of the final product will decrease.

Crystallization

All natural honey solidifies after a certain storage time. This is called crystallization of honey and allows the honey to be preserved for a longer period in a natural way.

Does buckwheat honey have any medicinal properties?

Buckwheat honey is known for its healing properties, as it contains many antioxidants that help protect cells from oxidative stress. It is often recommended for respiratory problems, as it soothes coughs and sore throats. It is rich in iron, which contributes to better blood circulation and a boost in energy. Due to its anti-inflammatory properties, it is also excellent for healing wounds and strengthening the immune system.

How do bees produce buckwheat honey?

The moment the bee collects the buckwheat nectar, it is mixed with an enzyme in the bee's mouth. The enzyme itself is known as invertase or "bee enzyme" which is secreted from bee glands. When the honey bees return to the hive, they mix the collected buckwheat nectar with "bee enzyme".

This will reduce the water content and convert the nectar into honey. Buckwheat will then deposit honey in the wax cells, but at this point the water content may be too high. To reduce the water content, the bees will flap their wings over the wax cell and this will evaporate some of the water.

When they finish the process, the water content of the honey will be about below 20%. Then the cell is closed and the bees will repeat the process again.
