Berestov Linden Bashkirkhan Honey

Glass jar under a green paper cap and jute twine. The honey has set to a pale, opaque, creamy texture — linden honey crystallises readily, and that thick set is normal and desirable rather than a fault.

Bashkir linden honey is one of the most sought-after honeys in the world, and this jar documents exactly where it came from:

Harvest regions: Ufa plateau; basins of the Bystry Tanyp, Ufa and Belaya rivers Dominant nectar source: Tilia cordata — small-leaved linden Tasting notes: a complex bouquet of vanilla and ripe apricot with a hint of tea rose

Bashkortostan is the classic linden-honey region, and Bashkirhan® is Berestov's registered sub-brand for it. As with the rest of the range, there is a QR code on the label linking to the beekeepers who collected it.
