FOSSE WAY HONEY

Since acquiring this local honey business in 2005, Chris and Janet Atkins have been busy as bees growing their range of products. With over 20 bee colonies spread along the River Stour in Oxfordshire, the bees forage for nectar from a diverse range of flowers and plants which can affect the final flavour and texture of the honey. Chris and Janet have also developed a beeswax polish and a range of meads using their honey-filtered Oxfordshire spring water.

As well as set honey and runny honey, the company produces a range of other interesting kinds of honey and chutneys, including the Clover Heather Blend, a blend of New Zealand clover honey with Derbyshire heather honey which is great for spreading and delicious in porridge. For something a bit different try the Honey with Ginger, a warming blend of imported honey and ginger that can be used in many recipes, such as a glaze for chicken and lamb, BBQ sauce, in salad dressings and even in bread and butter pudding!
