Spanish Forest Honey

Casa de Alba’s Spanish forest honey is a richly aromatic, earthy honey gathered from the mountainous woodlands near Salamanca, where bees forage among oak-filled forests and wild flora. This natural environment imparts a deep, nutty character with warm, woodsy notes that set it apart from sweeter floral honeys. Its complexity and balanced richness make it a versatile pantry staple for both savory and sweet applications.

Use it to glaze roasted or grilled red meats, drizzle over toasted nuts, finish cheese and charcuterie boards, or whisk into dressings and marinades. Its earthy depth pairs beautifully with aged cheeses, cured salami, and rustic breads. A spoonful in tea, yogurt, or warm grains adds a subtle woodland aroma that feels both comforting and refined.

This honey is harvested on the historic Casa de Alba estate—one of Spain’s oldest noble houses—where the land’s natural bounty has long shaped its agricultural heritage. The late Duchess of Alba helped inspire the estate’s gourmet line, now celebrated for exceptional olive oils, sherry vinegars, Iberico ham, artisan cheeses, and other finely crafted foods sourced from the estate’s vast properties.
