SerraMel Oak Honey (Mel de Carvalho) – Serra da Malcata Portuguese Dark Honey

SerraMel Oak Honey (mel de carvalho da Serra da Malcata) is produced in June and July in the northern Serra da Malcata, along the banks of the Côa river, in the region's abundant oak forests.

It's very dark and extremely dense, with a characteristic malty aroma and far less sweetness than floral honey. It's a favorite of people who prefer less sweet, more complex honey.

How to enjoy it

• Pair with strong cheeses and walnuts.
• Use in glazes for pork or duck.
• Stir into yogurt or porridge for depth.
