John Mellis Apiaries Scottish Honey, Scottish Heather Honey, 12 Ounce Jar
Scottish heather is adapted to the rugged hills and climate of the Scottish highland and lowlands and most prolific "ling" heather grows freely over almost 5 million acres of Scottish lands.
The connoisseur's choice made solely from the nectar from Scotland's heather that blooms in August.
A distinctive light "smokey" and aromatic flavor places heather honey in a class of its own.
