Smoked Honey 250g

Beechwood-smoked acacia honey combines delicate floral sweetness with a gentle smoke, bringing an instantly moreish finish to marinades and cheese boards.

What Is Smoked Honey?

Our smoked honey begins with golden raw Hungarian acacia honey, then is gently smoked over fragrant beech wood. The process adds a warm, aromatic smokiness while allowing the acacia honey’s naturally light, floral character to remain recognisable.

The result is a versatile gourmet condiment with a smooth, runny texture, softly fruity sweetness and a rounded beechwood finish. The smoke is balanced rather than harsh, making it an easy way to add depth to both everyday cooking and special-occasion dishes.

How to Use Smoked Honey

Use smoked honey wherever sweet, savoury and smoky flavours belong together. It can replace ordinary honey when you want extra depth and a gentle beechwood note.

• Whisk with black truffle mustard, a little oil and vinegar to make an elegant gourmet glaze or marinade for chicken, salmon, pork chops or roasted vegetables.
• Brush over baked ham, gammon, brisket or ribs towards the end of cooking for a glossy, deeply flavoured finish.
• Drizzle over a cheese board with Brie, Camembert, goat’s cheese or mature Cheddar, alongside toasted nuts, apple or pear.
• Add a small spoonful to a salad dressing, burger sauce or sandwich filling where you want a gentle sweet-smoky edge.
• Use in our smoky BBQ marinade recipe for an extra layer of flavour, perfect with chicken or pork.

Cook’s Tip

Add smoked honey towards the end of roasting, grilling or pan-cooking. Its natural sugars caramelise quickly, so a late brush or drizzle gives a beautiful glaze without catching or burning.

Where Does It Come From?

Our smoked honey 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 this landscape of forests, meadows and open countryside.

The acacia honey is carefully selected, coarsely filtered and gently smoked over beech wood in Hungary. Monika chose it for the Monika’s Kitchen range because its floral sweetness remains beautifully balanced by the warm, savoury smoke.
