Royal black honey from the Strandja mountain in Bulgaria (PDO and Natura 2000 harvest area) won 2** gold stars at the world blind tasting fair in London (London Great Taste Awards 2020), among more than 12,700 products from 106 countries.
This is our black gold, "The honey of kings" - royal black honey (exceptional electrical conductivity). 5 to 6 times richer in antioxidants and trace elements than ordinary honey. Absolute record in 2019: an analysis carried out at the certified laboratory showed a conductivity greater than 2300mS. This rate is exceptional and certainly one of the highest in the world. The electrical conductivity of honey shows us the richness of minerals and vitamins in the product.

place of harvest: Strandja mountain, South Bulgaria
It is during the summer that the royal bees harvest, in the thousand-year-old oak woods of the Strandja mountain which is well exposed to the sun, honeydew giving a long unknown honey, which is characterized by a very dark color, almost black, powerful aromas and a clearly assertive flavor. Royal Black Honey from Strandja Mountain (PDO zone) has a noticeably darker color, a unique aroma and a slightly tart and bitter flavor, compared to nectar honey. The protected natural area status of the Strandja massif excludes intensive agriculture and contributes to the purity of the product. The Strandja phytogeographic complex is unique in Europe.
