Mel Santa Maria's heather honey is produced in the Barroso region, more specifically, in the municipality of Montalegre. This flowering occurs above 800 meters of altitude where heather (Erica arborea) and queiró (Erica umbellata) predominate, as well as oak (Quercus faginea). Heather honey has a dark color, with a strong and intense taste, deeply accentuating its odor. This honey won a bronze award in 2016, gold in 2017 and silver in 2018, in the organic honey category (Concurso Nacional de Méis Portugueses).
