Honey
Honey
The wide variety of aromatic herbs, flowers, and trees make the area of Vau Dejës, Puka, and Fushë Arrëz a hotspot for honey production. Numerous, small scale family-businesses take attentive care of their beehives to offer natural and flavour-rich honey to their customers. A visit and a tasting session on the spot are strongly recommended.
Wildflower Honey
Wildflower honey is the most common one in the area. It presents itself in many forms based on the period in which it is collected, and the characteristics of the local flora. It comes without saying that the best advice is to try different ones to pick one’s favourite!
Chestnut Honey
The many chestnut trees have always represented an essential resource for the inhabitants of these mountains, enriching honey production too. With its darker nuances and a strong taste of chestnuts, this honey is among the most appreciated varieties, as well as being particularly praised for its properties by local traditional medicine.
Thyme Honey
Thyme is among the most common herbs in the area of Vau Dejës, Puka, and Fushë Arrëz, growing on the many rocky cliffs and providing good raw material for local bees. The resulting honey features an intense flavour and is widely considered as a natural antiseptic.
