SerraMel Heather Honey (Mel de Urzes) is a Portuguese dark honey sourced from Serra da Estrela, known for its intense flavor and distinctive character.
SerraMel Heather Honey, known as mel de urzes, is a bold and distinctive Portuguese honey harvested from the high slopes of Serra da Estrela, the country’s highest mountain range. This unique environment, rich in wild heather varieties, gives the honey its deep color and characteristic intensity.
Bees forage among native plants such as queiró, torga, and white heather, creating a honey with a strong, complex profile and a persistent, slightly earthy finish. Less sweet than lighter honeys, it is ideal for those who prefer a more pronounced and authentic flavor.
Produced in a natural park with minimal human impact, this honey reflects the purity and richness of Portugal’s mountainous landscapes.
