- 100% pure, unpasteurized Ontario no. 1 Amber honey
Small batch honey harvested from hives in Toronto neighbourhoods. Each neighbourhood hive produces honey with its own specific texture and flavour based on the local flora.
A rich assembly of natural, cultural and agricultural landscapes, Rouge National Urban Park is home to amazing biodiversity, some of the last remaining working farms in the Greater Toronto Area, Carolinian ecosystems, and one of the region’s largest marshes. Situated on the rooftop of a warehouse that's just a short bee flight from the park, our Rouge apiary enjoys strong honey flows throughout the season.
Tasting Notes
Honey from this neighbourhood shows distinct variation between early and late summer harvests, with later harvests yielding more robust flavour. Full bodied, with bay leaf and rosemary on the nose it opens to tobacco and truffle rounded out by a maple and burnt sugar finish.
