The acacia honey from Popovi Bee Farm is one of the most valued products due to its delicate taste and natural qualities. It is harvested at the beginning of the year when the acacia trees start to bloom, and the bee colonies are just recovering from winter. This forage lasts only a short time, just 10-15 days, making acacia honey more precious and difficult to harvest.
The main characteristics of acacia honey from Popovi Farm include:
- **Color and Texture:** Acacia honey is nearly transparent, with a pale yellow hue. It crystallizes slowly due to its high fructose content, allowing it to remain liquid longer than most other types of honey.
- **Taste and Aroma:** The honey has a very fine and gentle taste with a light acacia aroma, making it particularly favored, especially among children. Since it contains a low amount of pollen, acacia honey has a low likelihood of allergic reactions and is suitable for children and individuals sensitive to allergens.
- **Nutritional Value and Health Benefits:** With its high fructose content, acacia honey is an excellent source of quick energy and is suitable for people with diabetes, as it can help regulate insulin. It also supports the immune system, especially during cold season, by helping to relieve upper respiratory tract inflammation.
The acacia honey from Popovi Farm is 100% organic, obtained through centrifugation, stored at a temperature of 15-25°C, and protected from direct sunlight. It is certified by Balkan Biosert, ensuring its high quality. It is available in a 410 g jar and can be liquid or crystallized (which is a natural process).
