• Honey harvested in Serra da Lousã with ginger - 80g: Honey harvested on the slopes and valleys of Serra da Lousã. Mountain honey, characteristic of heather flowering, common in the highlands of the central mountain massif. It is a honey full of personality, with a strong flavor, slightly acidic and dense consistency. It presents itself with a very dark and amber tone. It has a striking aroma and flavor, slightly spicy resulting from the mixture with ginger, and with a slight astringency, typical of heather nectar. Ginger is an herbal plant with many health benefits. As a medicinal plant, it is one of the oldest and most popular in the world. It is considered a powerful anti-inflammatory, anticoagulant, antioxidant and bactericidal.
• Chestnut Honey with Pistachio - 80g: 

  A sophisticated and unexpected combination: the intense, slightly bitter flavor of Portuguese chestnut honey, with its woody notes, meets the delicately toasted touch of pistachio. An artisanal honey with a striking aroma and amber color, perfect for pairing with aged cheeses, grilled meats, and dried fruits.

• Rosemary Honey with Apple and Cinnamon - 80g: From the aromatic mixture of rosemary honey with apple and cinnamon, with a flavor very recognized and appreciated by everyone, a honey with a warm and delicate flavor is obtained, with an intense aroma and flavor of cinnamon. Clear honey, with a mild and aromatic flavor, is collected by bees in the abundant fields of Rosmaninho, located on the lower slopes of Serra da Malcata, a nature reserve with 21,000 hectares. The dehydrated apple, of Portuguese origin, is finely cut into slices, and results from a drying process that reduces the moisture content of the fruit to 2%, in a controlled environment, without the addition of sugars, dyes or preservatives, resulting in a 100% product. % Natural. Cinnamon, with its warm, fragrant aroma, with antifungal, antibacterial and antiparasitic properties, has immense health benefits..
• Orange blossom honey with chilli - 80g: This smooth and clear honey, with a golden hue, mixed with the dehydrated chili pepper gives this honey a spicy flavor, which contrasts with the sweet and characteristic flavor of orange blossom honey. We have selected the smoothest honey from Laranjeira in the Algarve. A clearer and smoother honey than Rosmaninho and characterized by its accentuated acidity. It is very good for the functioning of the intestine, in addition to invigorating the skin and helping to combat insomnia. The chilli, with an intense red color, is a spice with a pungent flavor. The spiciness of the seeds, due to the presence of capsaicin (the active ingredient in pepper) is acrid, locally causing rapid and energetic stimulation.
• Serra da Estrela heather honey with elderberry - 80g: Heather honey, from Serra da Estrela, Portugal, with a remarkable aroma and flavor, is a source of energy due to its natural sugar content. A honey suitable for people who prefer less sweet products. The elderberry has been defined as the guardian of health since antiquity. It has a strong coloring power, giving the bluish/violet color to the products to which they are added. Elderberry also has a very high level of antioxidant activity and a high content of polyphenols that make it the most antioxidant of honeys. Prevents aging and degenerative diseases.
• Multifloral honey - 80g: Wild honey, harvested in the Beiras Region, Portugal. It is obtained through an experienced transhumance practice, benefiting from different blooms, including 4 varieties of Heather, Rosmaninho, Eucalyptus, Gorse, Hollyhock, Thyme, Rosemary and Borage. Very soft and delicate, it is the honey whose flavor is the preference of the largest number of consumers. With recognized health benefits, it strengthens the immune system, acts as an antitussive, antiseptic, antioxidant and mineralizing agent.

The individual packaging of each honey is triangular, so that, when joined in the complete PACK6 Honey from Portugal experience, they form a hexagon, just like the bee hives, which serve as inspiration for this packaging.
