2. Kashmir Honey
This Amber coloured, velvety honey with the most pleasant aroma comes from the valleys of Kashmir. This honey predominantly contains the nectar of the Acacia tree found in the Kashmir valley. Beekeepers harvest this honey from the beehives of the Apis Mellifera species of bees.
Every year during the months of May and June this honey is harvested and is available for limited time periods only.
When we started Honey & Spice we saw that Kashmir honey was primarily exported out of India and was not available for Indian consumers because of its high demand abroad. We started procuring this honey at a higher rate to make it available to the Indian consumer. Today we are proud to say that it is one of our most in-demand product.
How does your purchase matter?
Wild Honey from Honey & Spice fits both these descriptions and is a definite healing superfood. The tribals who collect this honey are trained in sustainable harvesting by the World Wide Fund for Nature and government departments. Sustainable wild honey harvest involves cutting out the honeycomb from the beehive without killing or harming the bees.
Every jar of wild honey you purchase indirectly improves the life of a tribal honey hunter community whose main profession has remained as honey harvesting for thousands of years. This ensures that the tribals do not have to migrate to the cities to live harsh lives away from the land they have lived in as a community for thousands of years. We ensure that the tribals are paid well for their labor, expertise, and vast knowledge of the forest lands.
Each jar of wild honey from honey and spice has the essence and the goodness of a thousand flowers in it.
