Mountain Sumac Honey – Premium Award-Winning Raw Honey (227 g)

Rare Mountain Sumac Honey with Distinctive Citrus & Elderflower Notes

Discover Mountain Sumac Honey, a premium award-winning raw honey prized for its complex flavour and refined character. Harvested from the blossoms of sumac plants growing in unspoiled mountain regions, this artisan honey offers a beautifully balanced taste with citrus-like freshness and lingering floral undertones reminiscent of elderflower — making it an exceptional single-origin honey experience.

Taste

From the blossom of the distinctive sumac tree, this Romanian honey is a true adventure in taste: a rising intensity of sweetness, sharpened with lime zest, matures with citrus lemon and finally an essence of elderflower which lingers persistently on the palate. Produced by our beekeeper in limited quantities from a single mountain location.

Raw, Unfiltered & Unprocessed

Our raw sumac honey is unprocessed and unfiltered, preserving natural enzymes, antioxidants and authentic botanical flavour. With a smooth texture and subtle zest of lime, lemon and elderflower notes, this rare honey stands out among artisan honeys for its refreshing, layered complexity.

3 Stars Great Taste Award-Winning Honey

This honey has been recognised with a Great Taste Award, judged by leading chefs and food experts for its outstanding quality and flavour. Judges highlighted its intense citrus-floral fragrance and unusually refreshing finish — celebrating it as a rare and remarkable honey variety.

Here’s what the Great Taste Awards judges said about our Sumac Honey:

“The honey is light in colour and has a cloudy appearance. The aroma is very subtle, with a tiny hint of citrus. The flavour of elderflower is amazing while the hints of lime and lemon are more subtle but definitely present.”
“Distinctive and with a long and rewarding finish, this honey has an unusually refreshing taste very reminiscent of elderflower.”
“This golden honey welcomes with an intense and inviting citrus-floral fragrance. On the palate, the judges applauded the impressive evolution of flavours achieved, with bright, rounded citrus and defined floral elderflower, delivered with smooth, balanced sweetness. Beautiful.”
“A rarely encountered honey – we rather expected something a touch sour from sumac – but it’s certainly citrus noted. We agree it’s intensely sweet and sharp, with lime zest bitterness and a floral note of elderflower on the finish. Yes, the florality lingers nicely along with a welcome touch of bitterness following the sweet impact.”

Additional information

Weight	227 g
Ingredients	100% Mountain Sumac Honey
Benefits	Pure honey is naturally high in antioxidants derived from nectar. Typically, 82% sugars (glucose and fructose), 18% ‘B’ vitamins and minerals. Raw honey is unheated during processing to avoid damaging these delicate, nutritious compounds which support a healthy immune system.
Storage	Honey is ideally stored at room temperature (around 18-22 Celsius) and need not be refrigerated to preserve it in top condition for up to two years. Exposing honey to temperatures above 35 C (hive temperature) from the sun or other heat sources can damage vitamin content and flavour, so please store out of direct sunlight and away from radiators. All natural honey will begin slowly to crystallise after a period of time dependent on its aromatic content. It can be used semi-set in the same way as when clear, but if you wish to return its clarity, place in a warm cupboard at 30-35 C and over a few days it will clarify.
