Miód Wrzosowy z Borów Dolnośląskich | Local Honey From Lower Silesian Voivodeship, Poland | TasteAtlas

Miód Wrzosowy z Borów Dolnośląskich

Miód wrzosowy z Borów Dolnośląskich is a unique heather honey gathered from the lower Silesia Forests in Poland. It is amber or tea-colored and has a thick, gelatinous texture. Its unique qualities are due to the area where the nectar is obtained - a flora of dense heaths and lush vegetation that has been preserved nearly intact, as it was home to military training sites until recently.


The honey has a high concentration of heather pollen and crystallizes easily into medium-sized granules. The scent is intense and strong-smelling while the taste is slightly bitter, sweet and sharp. It is the most famous honey of the Dolnoslaskie Voivodship and is usually eaten on its own, with fresh bread, or presented as a unique gift from the region.
