Award winning, certified fair trade, Ulmo blossom honey from Chilean Gourmet.  Tangy yellow honey is great in light herbal teas or as a topping to desserts and grilled seafood.  Winner of Best Raw Honey at 2007 SF Fancy Food Show.

Details

A unique honey made from the nectar of the native Chilean Ulmo tree (eucryphia cordifolia). Winner of the Best Raw Honey of 2007 at the San Francisco Fancy Food Show, this delicious honey can turn anyone into a lover of artisinal honey.  The Ulmo blooms with white flowers late in the summer, and is harvested in the Araucania region in the south of Chile in native forests.

Like all of the Chilean honeys in the Bee Limitless Honey Shop, this honey is harvested through a delicate manual method that is traditional to this area.  No temperature manipulation is used at any step in the production process.  Ulmo honey has been studied at the Pontifica Universidad Catolica de Chile for its incredible potency in both antibacterial and antifungal bio-activity.  Certified as fairly traded, in part for the company's involvement supporting the indigenous  Mapuches tribe including the support of beekeepers that practice ancient, sustainable methods when harvesting this incredible honey.  

Tasting Notes

This delicious tangy yellow jar of perfection can turn anyone in to a lover of artisanal raw honeys. Ulmo honey is so fruity that it could pass for clear strained ulmo marmalade, if such a thing exists. Can a honey be both creamy and gooey at the same time? I detect notes of mint, some vanilla and caramel - you can let it linger in your mouth and dissolve patiently, and it continues to open in new ways. Perfect as a simple dipping sauce for grilled seafood or as a topping for a refined cheesecake. It is also stellar in light herbal teas or lemonades (served with or without pisco, the region's aguardiente).
