Harvested in quiet and secluded woodland valleys that surround the Preseli mountains in West Wales, the early spring nectar of dandelion, willow and primroses yields this naturally set honey. It is alive with floral and herbal flavours that sing of its natural environment, tones of propolis and delicate beeswax aroma. Granular and full of texture that melts in the mouth, this honey is delicious on warm crusty bread or with cheese.

The bees that make this honey harvest nectar from flowers such as clover, bluebells, sycamore and crab apple that grow wild in a designated Special Area of Conservation in west Wales. The honey is ethically produced according to organic principles, and cold-filtered to keep it as raw and natural as possible. The outcome is an oaky and smoky honey with strong tones of propolis and molasses. 

At its Crickhowell smokehouse in the heart of the Brecon Beacons, the smokery's production team prepares every batch of smoked duck by hand. The duck is lightly cured and hot-smoked over Welsh oak until it is tender and ready to eat. As the breast is firm-fleshed, it can be sliced thinly to savour its rich flavour, and served with orange and walnuts, berries or sweet chilli dipping sauce.
