The Journey from Hive to Home: Nanako’s Raw Honey

At Nanako, we believe in the power of nature’s purest gifts. Our raw honey is far more than a sweeter; it’s a testament to the hard work of dedicated true master craftsmen beekeepers and the unique terroir of the regions where our bees forage across Spain and Portugal. We’re committed to transparency, so come along with us on the journey from hive to your home, and discover what makes Nanako’s raw honey truly special.

Our Partnership with Passionate Beekeepers

Our honey story begins with close relationships. We partner with small-scale, local beekeepers who share our commitment to sustainable practices and the well-being of their bees. These aren’t just suppliers; they’re our partners in crafting exceptional honey. They possess generations of knowledge about beekeeping (up to five generations, dating back to 1860), understanding the delicate balance of the hive and the surrounding ecosystem. Beekeepers are well aware – as we all should – that honey bees pollinate 70-80 percent of all flowering plants, including more than 130 types of fruits and vegetables.

Without the plants that bees pollinate, we would struggle to sustain the world´s population. We value their expertise and work closely with them, ensuring fair prices and supporting their traditional methods.

The Unique Terroir of Our Honey

Just like wine, honey’s flavor is deeply influenced by its teroir – the specific environment where the bees gather their nectar or honeydew. Our raw honey comes from a num ber of regions: from the plains of Castilla, wild forests of Leon, coastal orange groves and the mountains of the Picos de Europa including several pristine and World Heritage national parks. The beekeepers mastery of raw honey confection and these unique regions diverse flora, including varieties such as heather, eucalyptus, rosmary, thyme, lavender and orange blossom, give our raw honey varieties their distinctive and international award winning flavour and character.

From Hive to Bottle: Our Gentle Process

Our raw honey is minimally processed to retain its natural goodnss. We avoid high-heat treatment and filtration, which can strip away beneficial enzymes, pollen, and antioxidants. Our honey is simply cold extracted from the honeycomb and unheated while only lightly filtered to remove any large debris, and then bottled with care. This gentle process preserves the honey’s raw, authentic flavor and its natural health benefits. It is exactly the same quality honey as present in the beehive.
