MEL DE PIPEIROS
Why Pipeiros honey
is so special
Mel de Pipeiros comes from the wild hills of the Serra do Caldeirão, where our Iberian honeybees gather their nectar almost exclusively from wild lavender.
Harvested only once a year, the honey is kept raw and unfiltered, preserving its delicate aroma, natural enzymes and distinctive characteristics.
A rare honey, shaped by one place, one season and the nature that surrounds it.
More than taste
Mel de Pipeiros is a monofloral honey, with 82% of the identified pollen comes from wild lavender. This high proportion gives the honey its soft flavour, refined aroma and distinctive character.
