Argentine honey is widely known by its quality. However, most of the honey (both organic and conventional) available in the UK is blended to produce a homogenised honey. The result is a boring and simple product.
Ché Honey brings the best quality argentine organic honey, monofloral or of endemic flowers only, sourced in single estates, never blended nor heated. We bring the terroir concept to honey: every harvest and every local area produce a distinctive type of honey.
"PROSOPIS ALBA" - honey from the heart of the rainforest
The Prosopis Alba honey is a rich clear, bright amber liquid honey. It has a woody aroma of high intensity, suggesting dry grass and spices, and a sweet tasting, of mild astringency and a chocolate aftertaste.
This variety is harvested in a selected area of the uncultivated Gran Chaco Forest ("The Impenetrable") in northern Argentina, hundreds of miles far from cities and industries.
This area, which expands over 500,000 km² in northern Argentina, is identified as Centre of Plant Diversity by UNESCO. It has hot and humid summers with mild winters and a irregular rainy season from October to April, when floods cover vast areas of the land - up to 15% and for several months. Intense, long-lasting sheet lightning also occurs: the sheer strengths of Mother Nature are perpetually present in the Gran Chaco.
The harsh weather and the extreme isolation make this region a difficult place to live: our beehives are located over 250 miles from the nearest city. And because no industrial agriculture is performed, this forest is 100% free from pollution, artificial pesticides, and GM crops.
A good, single-hive honey is as distinctive as a chateau-bottled vintage wine. Our honey from Chaco comes from nectar from the Prosopis Alba tree, an indigenous tree from Northern Argentina, known in Spanish as "Algarrobo Blanco" (white algarrobo) because of its abundant greenish-white to yellow flowers growing on spike-like stalks.
