In Northumberland we have an abundance of Ling Heather which produces the most superior quality Heather honey. We move our bees to the Northumberland Heather moors in August to produce this most amazing honey.

There are two different type of Heather flower, bell and ling. Ling is re-knowned for being the most superior in terms of honey quality. Fortunately in our location we have an abundance of the Heather Ling flower. As a result this gives rise to the exceptional quality of Northumberland Heather Honey.
Heather honey is cold processed retaining the raw and natural properties of the honey. Heather honey naturally has a higher water content that all other honey, and this water content is what makes all honey liable to ferment. With heather the risk of fermentation is greater, it is just a fact of honey life!
Therefore we recommend to keep the honey cool, and in a dry place. Even at room temperature honey can ferment, so the best thing to do is use the honey when as fresh as possible. After all, when the honey is in the jar it is ready to eat, it doesn’t get better with age like a fine wine!
Manuka Honey and the marketing board responsible for this have done an exceptional job. There is however evidence that Heather honey may be as good as the highly prized Manuka Honey. Albeit there is less research into Heather Honey.
All honey is anti-bacterial. Both Manuka and Heather Honey have antibacterial properties in spades. The difficulty when purchasing Manuka honey is that there are so many different grades, what you do know when you buy Northumberland, Scottish or Welsh Heather Honey is that you are buying a sustainble and natural product.
The most important factor to look out for when buying honey is that it has NOT been heat treated, this cold extraction process retains all the benefits of the enzymes and anti-bacterial properties that you would be taking the honey for. All our honey is cold extracted and NOT pasturised. This retains all the benefits of pure, natural honey.

This is the best tasting heather honey I have eaten. Would now not buy any other.
Tracey McDowell (verified owner) –
Absolutely beautiful honey. I have bought this a few times now and the service is always excellent. Would not buy honey from anywhere else.

Best in my book! I first bought a jar of this heather honey while on holiday in Northumberland two years ago, and was so pleased to discover recently that I can buy more through the Northumberland Honey Co website. Delivery has been very prompt and quality as ever is excellent; this small local business merits our support.

No longer buy any other brand of honey. Doesn’t cause heartburn like some varieties and delicious on toast & in tea in place of sugar. Thoroughly recommend.

I sent this as a gift to an afficionados of Heather honey Who Is exceptionally fussy…and she was overjoyed at the flavour and texture which she says is something she has not found in any other honey for years. Her enthusiasm is not lightly given. She is elderly and says this has brought back so many delicious memories.Pwrsonally I love it too which is why it formed part of Christmas gifts this year. The exceptional savings made it a very economic gift as well and free postage is a boon …

After searching online for genuine honey makers, I happily came across this website, every little detail on here is exciting and educational to read. But of course what put the icing on the cake, so to speak, was that the company are in my area and so I want to support them. Delivery was the next day which stunned me. But of course the real winner here is the honey. I bought 3, Runny summer wildflower, Heather and Cumbrian. Don’t ask me which is the nicest because I could not compare them, they are all delicious. My treat is an extra spoonful of each every day. Definitely a return customer, thank you to all the team 🙂

We first tried this honey whilst on holiday in Haltwhistle and after reading up on the potential great health properties of heather honey we now have it all through the winter just to keep the sniffles away! It seems to work. It has a lovely gel like texture that melts down your throat, very soothing.

I was first introduced to Luke & Suzie and Northumberland Honey, during a Zoom meeting with my local Beekeeping Association. Prior to the session, I thought I do a bit of research and bought a bottle of their Wildflower Sparkling Mead (which I will review separately). I was so impressed with Luke and Susie and their ethos supporting honey bees and the all important provenance of their products, I decided to buy a range of their honey and mead.
The Heather honey is dark in colour, thick in texture and has a wonderful floral aroma. The taste is complex thanks to the richly thick consistency, lovely and sweet with heady floral notes from the Heather. Luxurious and decadent. Perfect this time of year to help banish those wet windy woolly jumper days. I can feel warm sunshine warming my being as take another spoonful from the jar !

This lovely Heather honey is my favourite, but to be honest, I love all of them. Do yourself a favour and try any of them, you won’t be disappointed.
Carole Coulthard (verified owner) –
I was looking for local bee keepers to find some genuine honey and so pleased I found Northumberland Honey, the Heather Honey is beautiful and I can’t wait to try the others. I won’t buy my honey from anywhere else now. The service was also amazing and after reading all about Luke and Suzie I think they do amazing work. Thank you.

Is Perfect honey the mixture and the taste is genuine honey.
The only thing would like to see is larger jar with a bit less price compare to the small jar
Definitely I will order it again.
Barbara Copperthwaite (verified owner) –
The taste of this honey is absolutely amazing. It’s got such depth! I have a teaspoonful every morning as a (very tasty) boost for my health. Honestly, no other honey has a flavour like this; it is such good quality, pure honey that has nothing in common with the overly sweet sort that is sold in supermarkets. It is my favourite product sold by Northumberland Honey Co – but having said that, I do love all of their products!
Richard Clements (verified owner) –
Just marvelous honey with a long, lovely lingering heather flavour. Absolutely love it!
margaret langmead (verified owner) –
Amazing. Quality of this honey is matched only by the quality of the service by Northumberland Honey
JAMES WILSON (verified owner) –
This is lovely. I am on my first jar and have it on wholegrain seeded bread every morning. I also use on low calorie biscuits for a snack during the day. Its yummy and healthy at the same time.

Like everyone else, this honey is the bees knees! It has such a rich and complex taste, absolutely wonderful. No doubt I could go on about it with lots of words, but I will just say that it makes me smile just to see the jar! I bought several in as soon as it was available again and they are like my hoard of golden treasure in the cupboard. The jars were delivered quickly and safely in recyclable packaging. Thank you. Wonderful.

If you care about the quality of the food you eat, where it comes from and the people from whom you buy, this is an exceptional choice. Great honey from great people!

My husband Keith has just finished his first jar of Heather Honey. I have now purchased a second one
. WHY? Because I believe that this high natural grade of honey will help to heal a really bad pressure sore on his foot. Which developed whilst he was in hospital, Whatcha this space for updates.

Great tasting honey. Reminds me of what real honey tasted like many, many years ago as a young child. Definitely buying more. Great company with speedy delivery!
Rachel Hamlin (verified owner) –
I love eating honey from small producers and this is one of the best. Hard to pick a favourite from Northumberland Honey but the flavour in this heather honey is rich and strong. The texture is perfect, it’s a lovely deep colour too. The delivery service is brilliant and the packaging is non plastic. You can also find out more about the company from their informative blogs.

My first but definitely not last order from this delightful company. My order of honey arrived promptly, carefully and sensibly packed and is absolutely delicious! The website is easy to navigate, the prices fair and the quality, ethical background and sensational taste make this little company both a winner and important to support. Thank you.

A strong-scented and tasting honey. Use honey daily: porridge, baking, cooking. This particular flavour is interesting from a gastronomic perspective. I also use the wild summer flower honey for a more subtle flavour. A great company, that understands their product and the meaning of customer service.
