Not all honey is created equal, as some are processed, filtered, or high in sugar. However, the Apis Cerana Honey from GALHO represents purity and natural health. Harvested ethically from the pristine forests of Nagaland, India, this honey is a product of ethical bee management, traditional knowledge, skill, and respect for nature.
What Is Apis Cerana Honey?
The Apis Cerana species of honeybee produce this honey, sometimes referenced as the Asian honeybee. Unlike honeybees in commercial production, this species produces honey in wild or semi-wild settings, especially within the forests of Northeast India.
Apis Cerana honey is light in texture, has a subtle floral flavour profile, and contains medicinal characteristics. These honeybees are more adaptable to their local environments, and they gather nectar from a diverse range of wildflowers, ensuring that the honey contains a depth of unique qualities and benefits!
Collected with Respect and Tradition
At GALHO, Apis Cerana honey is not simply collected (as in honey extraction); it is harvested in an honourable, respectful way that has been passed on through generations. Beekeepers travel deep into the woods to collect honey in such a manner that the bees are not disturbed in their homes and surely not harmed. Given this process does not harm the honey or the bees, it allows the bee colonies to thrive and supports one of their most valued roles: the sustainability of biodiversity. Beekeepers often work at night or early in the morning, which allows them to smoke the bees and allows for the experience to be a little less harrowing for everyone involved: bees, beekeepers and the hive.
Raw and Unprocessed
Many honey brands heat and/or filter honey to increase shelf life and improve visual appearance. Unfortunately, this alters and destroys beneficial enzymes and nutrients. GALHO’s Apis Cerana honey is raw and unprocessed, which means the honey has never been heated and has never been diluted. All of the nutritional benefits that you find in honey enzymes, pollen, vitamins and minerals are left intact. Thus, GALHO Apis Cerana honey is a truly natural food for consumers who are looking for clean, nutrient-dense foods. It also means the texture, aroma, and taste are closer to what nature intended.
Packed with Nutritional Value
Apis Cerana Honey is stuffed with health-enhancing ingredients. It contains powerful antioxidants, antibacterial properties, and important nutrients; it aids digestion, enhances immunity, soothes sore throats, and assists in the wound recovery process.
The low glycemic index makes it a better choice for people monitoring their blood sugar levels. Research also suggests that raw honey can enhance cardiovascular health, help with energy, and improve gut health by supporting good bacteria.
Unique Taste and Aroma
One of the most remarkable characteristics of Apis Cerana Honey is its distinctive flavour profile. The taste is light floral with a hint of wild herbs that are influenced by the variety of flora in Nagaland. GALHO’s honey is not excessively sweet and uniform, like commercial honey; instead, it has an all-natural sweetness that varies at every harvesting point, offering a unique taste experience no matter when it is enjoyed. Depending on the season and harvest region, bamboo flowers, wild orchids, and other unique forest herbs are subtle notes that can be detected.
Limited and Seasonal
Apis Cerana honey is harvested according to flowering cycles and, as a result, is available for only a limited part of the year. This results in limited quantities and is why every jar of GALHO honey is truly rare. The limited quantity means that it isn’t subject to mass production practices that often detract from quality. There is beauty in harvesting during the seasons. Harvesting produces products in rhythm with nature, and the honey you are eating is a true and finished product that has seasonally matured and arrived at its finished state.
Eco-Conscious Packaging
The eco-consciousness of its packaging matches the purity of the honey. GALHO uses glass jars to maintain freshness and flavour while reducing plastic waste. Every detail from harvest to packaging is done with the planet in mind. Glass jars can be reused or recycled, ensuring an eco-conscious consumer reduces their impact and allows for consideration of the values of sustainability.
