Scottish Heather Honeycomb Gift Box – Raw Honeycomb in an Engraved Wooden Box

Description

Heather Honeycomb Gift Box – Raw Scottish Honeycomb, Beautifully Boxed

A generous piece of raw heather honeycomb from our own hives, cut by hand and presented in an engraved wooden gift box. Three hexagon windows in the lid show off the golden comb inside, so it looks special before the lid even comes off.

Our bees spend late summer on the heather moors of Glen Clova and Glen Isla in the Angus Glens and around Dunkeld in Perthshire. We take the comb in late August, then cut the pieces by hand through the winter, once the honey harvest is finished.

Choose your size

• Minimum 500 g of honeycomb in the smaller box (approx. 22 × 12 × 6 cm)
• Minimum 1 kg of honeycomb in the large box (approx. 31 × 16 × 6 cm)

The box

Each box is laser-cut and assembled by hand, with finger-jointed corners and a honeycomb pattern engraved all the way round. The lid carries the Arbuckle’s name, the words Scottish Heather Honeycomb and a little bee resting in one of the cells. The lid simply lifts off, and the box makes a lovely keepsake long after the honeycomb is gone.

What makes heather honeycomb special

Our Heather Honey is one of Scotland’s most prized honeys: bold, aromatic and unmistakably rich. In the comb it is thick and jelly-like, and its colour ranges from golden to deep amber depending on the heather and the season.

Flavour profile:

• Smoky-sweet with warm whisky-like notes
• Less sweet and floral than blossom honey
• Intense, earthy and complex

How to enjoy your honeycomb

Use a warm knife to slice through the thin wax cappings, then cut or scoop out a piece. Eat it just as it is, wax and all, or chew and discard the wax if you prefer. Heather honey is naturally thick, so it won’t run everywhere when you cut it.

• Serve chunks on a cheese board
• Spread on warm toast or crumpets
• Melt over porridge or yoghurt
• Stir into hot tea
• Add to pastries and desserts
