Organic Heather Honey from Santa Maria

The main objective of MSM - Mel Santa Maria is the production of high-quality honey. We want the consumer to feel nature in every jar of our honey. Currently, the entire MSM - Mel Santa Maria bee colony is organically produced. The control of the apiaries, the production method, and the treatments carried out on the bee colonies are controlled by a Portuguese certifying entity.

We assume responsibility for the preservation of both the ecosystem, through the location of our apiaries, and the environment. We use products approved for organic production in the treatment of the bee colonies that are part of our beekeeping operation.

Mel Santa Maria's heather honey is produced in the Barroso region, more specifically, in the municipality of Montalegre. This flowering is found above 800 meters of altitude where heather (Erica arborea) and erica umbellata, as well as oak (Quercus faginea), predominate. Heather honey has a dark color, with a strong and intense flavor, deeply accentuating its aroma. This honey won the bronze award in 2016, gold in 2017, and silver in 2018 in the organic honey category (National Competition of Portuguese Honeys).
