La Zorra Holm Oak Honey – Spanish Miel de Encina 500g

La Zorra's holm oak honey is a single-flower honey from central Spain, where encina trees blanket the meseta. The result is a darker, more robust honey than the typical acacia or wildflower varieties—with a subtle woody undertone and a long, gentle finish. This is honey that tastes of place.

About this product

Holm oak honey (miel de encina) is prized across Spain for its complexity and mineral-forward character. La Zorra sources from small-scale producers who understand that encina blooms only briefly each spring, making each harvest precious. The honey is bottled at its natural consistency, with no additives or processing beyond gentle warming to ensure flowability and longevity. Expect notes of caramel, toasted grain, and a faint herbaceous depth that lingers.

How to enjoy

• Spoon onto thick Greek yogurt with toasted almonds for an elegant breakfast.
• Drizzle over hard cheese—aged manchego or Cabrales—to balance salt and umami.
• Stir a teaspoon into chamomile or mint tea on a quiet evening.
• Use as a glaze for roasted root vegetables or a ham steak.

⭐ Why we love this

Holm oak honey represents the soul of Spanish beekeeping—a terroir-driven honey that captures the austere beauty of the central Spanish meseta. La Zorra's commitment to small-scale producers and minimal processing honors the ancient tradition of encina honey, which has been prized in Spain since medieval times for its depth and complexity.

🍷 Pairing suggestion

Pair this robust honey with aged Manchego or blue Cabrales, where its woody minerality cuts through the cheese's richness. It's equally sublime drizzled over crème fraîche before a glass of amontillado sherry, or stirred into a glass of warm milk with cinnamon for a traditional Spanish bedtime ritual.

📍 From Spain

Sourced from the heart of central Spain's meseta, where holm oak (encina) trees define the landscape and produce their delicate flowers for only a few weeks each spring. La Zorra works directly with small-scale beekeepers in this storied region to preserve the authentic character of Spain's most complex single-flower honey.
