We here, at The Hive Honey Shop, are very excited to have found beekeepers that make amazing hand made honey sweets! You can meet them in person here at the shop this Saturday November 28th 10am-5pm (or until all the chocolates sell out!) Here’s a brief on them and why we are so excited to add them to our honey range!
Beekeepers since 2004 producing their own honeys. “We had so many flattering comments about the wonderful honey our bees produced that we began to wonder what else
we could do with it. So, in 2010, we started making chocolates to make better use of the fruits of these labours
Our first offerings were our honey truffles. They’re full of the goodness our bees bring home from the fields and woodlands around us, and are made simply from inspirational chocolate, honey, local cream and butter. We then added to our range with honey and sea-salt caramels which are dipped in seventy per cent dark chocolate. They’ve proved utterly irresistible, and are flying out of the door.
We also produce truffles with seasonal flavours –, including blackcurrant, strawberry, plum & brandy, hazelnut and chilli with kaffir lime. All of these come from our own garden or allotment or from another local small producer. We’re constantly scouring the hedgerows for foraged fruit – look out for truffles made with black cherries and bullaces from our hedgerows in the near future.”
This month’s (December) flavours are:
New Season Honey, Bullace Gin, Plum & Brandy, Cobnut Gianduja, and Boozy Cherry.
