Mel do Parque de Montezinho

Harvested from apiaries within Montezinho Natural Park in the northeastern part of the Trás-os-Montes region, this top-quality honey is made using nectar collected mainly from heather, chestnut, and rosemary flowers. Mel do Parque de Montezinho is produced by the native Iberian black bee, and the introduction of foreign species to the region is strictly prohibited, as is the use of any kind of pesticide or repellent.

A rich amber in color, Montezinho honey is quite viscous and has a powerful scent. It is traditionally enjoyed spread across a slice of fresh bread, but it also serves as an ingredient in the local cuisine for desserts such as nógados (nougats with honey and brandy), honey flavored spirits, and even chouriços doces (sweet blood sausages).
