The Latin name for sage is Salvia officinalis and the name comes from the word salvus, which means healthy or wholesome. And it is precisely this healing and health-promoting effect that has been attributed to sage since ancient times. For this reason, sage products are still sought-after medicinal products today and, especially in the Mediterranean region, sage is enjoyed as a tea and the nectar in sage honey.
Especially in Croatia, sage has a prominent position as a medicinal plant and some beekeepers sell sage honey directly to pharmacies. Only a small amount of sage honey is exported and we are very happy that we have found a beekeeper who can supply us with sage honey.
The Veber beekeeping company, or Weber in German, is a Croatian migratory beekeeper who migrates to the coast with some of his honey bees and harvests the precious sage honey in the Dubrovnik area. The family has been involved in beekeeping and beekeeping for three generations and numerous awards attest to the high quality of the honey products.
When fresh, sage honey has a liquid consistency and a dark color, slightly darker than amber. After a short time, however, the consistency changes to solid and the color becomes lighter.
The taste is strong, spicy and very complex. A light lemon note above the sweetness with a little salt and also a little bitter in the finish can be tasted well.
