LEAFLET TEXT

Back in 1898, Jorge de Almeida Lima acquires and explores his first beehives in Quinta do Lameiro, his country estate in Benfica, outskirts of Lisbon. In 1974, intent on starting a beekeeping activity, his great great grandchildren decide to restore the old hives.

First in Quinta do Lameiro and, since 1979, in Serra da Malcata, installing their company in Penamacor.

The Mountains of Portugal, besides its enormous beauty, are very rich in wild flowers and offer us some of the best honeys of the country.

To the south, in the mountains of Algarve, wild lavender flowers (Lavandula stoechas) and some heathers predominate.

The mountains of central Portugal, such as Serra da Malcata, are rich in heathers (Erica umbellata and Erica australis), chestnut trees and wild lavender on the lower slopes.

In the north of the country, the mountains are covered with heathers.

In the mountains of the center and north, Serramel produces and selects the Heather and Chestnut Honey - a dark coloured honey with a characteristic taste to heather, attenuated by the presence of chestnut and the Heather Honey - a dark coloured honey, with an intense aroma and a sweet flavour with bitter notes.

The Heather and Wild Lavender Honey – an amber coloured, aromatic honey with a slight taste to heather, comes from the mountains of the center and south of Portugal.

In the mountainous regions south of Serra da Malcata, we produce the Wild Lavender Honey from Beira Baixa - a light coloured honey with a mild and aromatic flavour.
