Golden Honey for Cheese 250g

Golden Honey for Cheese is a naturally runny blend of acacia and linden honey, created to bring floral sweetness and a savoury finish to cheese boards.

What Is Golden Honey for Cheese?

This special honey combines raw Hungarian acacia honey, silkweed honey and raw linden honey. Together, they create a beautifully golden, pourable honey with delicate floral aromas, gentle fruitiness and a softly herbaceous finish.

Acacia honey brings its light, clean sweetness, while linden contributes aromatic citrus-herbal notes and silkweed adds character to the blend. The result is balanced enough to complement cheese without overwhelming it.

It is raw, coarsely filtered and unpasteurised, with nothing added or blended in beyond the three pure Hungarian honeys.

How to Use Golden Honey for Cheese

Created for cheese lovers, this honey is equally good on a generous grazing board or in everyday sweet-and-savoury cooking.

• Drizzle over Brie, Camembert, goat’s cheese or blue cheese, then add walnuts, fresh pear, apple or grapes for an effortless cheese-board pairing.
• Serve alongside mature Cheddar, Gouda or other hard cheeses from our grass-fed cheese collection.
• Spoon over warm toast, crumpets or a buttery croissant for a simple, floral breakfast.
• Brush over roasted carrots, parsnips or ham towards the end of cooking for a glossy, gently sweet finish.
• Stir into a vinaigrette with mustard and vinegar for a quick dressing for leaves, roasted squash or grilled halloumi.

Serving Tip

Take the honey to the table at room temperature and drizzle sparingly at first. Its delicate floral character is at its best when it supports the cheese, fruit and nuts rather than covering their flavour.

Where Does It Come From?

Our Golden Honey for Cheese comes from Váraljai’s Honey Farm, a family-run apiary near Ásotthalom on the southern Great Hungarian Plain. Beekeeper László Váraljai keeps his own hives in a landscape of forests, meadows and open countryside.

The three honeys are harvested in Hungary and blended for the Monika’s Kitchen range. Monika selected this combination for its naturally balanced flavour and its particular affinity with cheese.
