Our buckwheat honey

Discover our buckwheat honey as an alternative to Manuka honey

The honey powerhouse

Manuka Honig Alternative

At The Art of Honey you will find single-variety honey in premium quality, which impresses with its purity and distinctive taste. We are particularly proud of our buckwheat honey, which has an extremely high concentration of antioxidants and thus represents a natural alternative to the well-known Manuka honey.

Our buckwheat honey is rich in valuable nutrients and offers you an intense, malty-spicy taste experience – ideal for anyone looking for a high-quality honey with special properties.

Premium honey directly from the beekeeper

Our beekeepers rely on sustainable and gentle harvesting methods so that you always receive pure, natural premium honey – fresh, tasty, and full of valuable nutrients.

In addition, they come in carefully selected honey jars that guarantee quality, freshness, and preservation of the ingredients.

The Art of Honey – Who we are

Real bee honey – 100% natural and with love for nature

We are beekeepers with heart – and you can taste it

We are a small team of beekeepers from the Rhine region, working with dedication, respect, and great love for nature. For us, honey is not just a product – it is the result of millions of small flights, careful care, and our deep appreciation for nature. It is a piece of responsibility toward our bees and the environment. That is why we personally select the beekeepers we work with worldwide.

Every jar of honey you hold has been carefully harvested, hand-filled, and contains premium honey of the highest quality.

The Art of Honey – craftsmanship with heart, nature in its purest form, and an invitation to rediscover honey.

Our promise to you

At The Art of Honey, we place the highest value on quality and naturalness. Our raw honey is harvested as naturally as possible – without additives, chemical treatments, or industrial processing. You receive honey in organic quality from us, as we work with sustainable beekeeper families who use environmentally friendly and bee-friendly methods.

Even though we do not carry an official organic certificate, we guarantee honey produced to the highest standards – pure, natural, and full of valuable nutrients. This way, you can be sure to enjoy real, natural honey of the best quality.

This is what we stand for:

Whether in Spain, Poland, Germany, or India – our honey is 100% raw honey directly from local beekeepers we personally know.
Organic-quality honey through sustainable beekeeping
Gentle harvesting and processing for maximum natural enjoyment
Commitment to protecting bees and their habitats

What makes our honey so special?

The Art of Honey stands for something unique: a honey selection that you have probably never tasted – or even heard of.

We offer you single-variety honey, produced exclusively from one flower source. No blends, no industry, no mass production. Each variety reflects the pure power of nature – a true wonder of the bees.

From familiar classics like forest or acacia honey to Mediterranean rarities such as thyme or lavender honey, to surprising specialties like buckwheat honey, fir honey, propolis honey, and much more:

Only the flower. Only nature. Only real honey.

This diversity does not come from a lab, but from the unique relationship between bee, flower, and landscape. With us, you find no compromises – only single-variety, honest craftsmanship from our own beekeeping. Even surprising specialties like buckwheat honey, fir honey, propolis honey, and many more.

Our regional honey

Real German honey from our own beekeeping

Inspired by the many local beekeepers on our travels and the diversity of honey flavors, we decided four years ago to raise our own bees on the banks of the Rhine, which enjoy the blossoms of cherry, apple, and plum trees as well as a wide variety of flowers. With a lot of love and care, we maintain our four beehives sustainably and gently for our bees. This way, we can offer you delicious premium honey from our own beekeeping,

Perhaps that’s why we were blessed with the best honey season this year. So far, we have harvested four times: once in May, twice in June, and once in July. That means this year we have particularly much fresh, pure blossom honey from the region for you, carrying the flavors of various fruit trees and berry plants. Moreover, the later harvest has a higher linden content, giving it a slightly minty aroma.

Honey design that enchants

A real eye-catcher. The perfect sweet gift.

In cooperation with FlowFineArt Cologne

At The Art of Honey, we combine exquisite honey with contemporary art. In collaboration with the Flow Fine Art gallery, which showcases works by intuitive artists, a unique design concept emerges: the artists work from a deep silence – connected with their inner nature, free from concepts. This authentic expressiveness is reflected on our honey lids, which are adorned with selected artworks.

Our front and back labels feature high-quality photographs and floral motifs that highlight each variety. This way, every jar becomes a small art piece – an extraordinary gift and a highlight on any table.

The Art of Honey stands for vibrant packaging, sensual enjoyment, and aesthetic depth. Honey has probably never before had such a beautiful, artistic presentation. Ideal for anyone seeking nature, beauty, and quality combined in a single jar.

Our honey varieties

From local beekeepers around the world, whom we personally know

Honey from Spain

Our honey comes from friendly beekeepers in the Valencia and Alicante regions as well as from southern Spain. There, a fertile mountainous area stretches out, where numerous wild herbs and fruit trees thrive. From there, we receive delicious orange honey, as well as the following varieties: avocado honey, chestnut honey, eucalyptus honey, lavender honey, almond honey, blackberry honey, thyme honey, rosemary honey, and lemon honey.

We run a guesthouse and retreat center on the coast there. Just behind it lies the nature reserve around the majestic Montgó mountain. Here we harvest a particularly aromatic, dark mountain honey twice a year – a true rarity.

The region is also known for its avocado and almond trees, lavender fields, wild blackberries, and a wide variety of flowering plants that provide bees with a rich and diverse food source. The perfect conditions for unique premium honey.

Due to the dry climate in Spain, it naturally contains little moisture. This not only makes it exceptionally long-lasting, but also gives it an intense aroma and a pleasantly fluid, yet not too thin, consistency.

Our honey varieties from Spain:

Avocado

Chestnut

Eukalyptus

Lavender

Almond

Blackberry

Thyme

Orange

Rosemary

Lemon

Honey from Poland

Our journey to find the finest honey began in Ukraine. Many people may not realize that this country is not only breathtakingly beautiful but also home to some of the most fertile soils in the world – deep, nutrient-rich black earth. The incredible variety of plants provides bees with access to countless blossoms, each contributing its own character, reflected in the flavor and qualities of the honey.

With the outbreak of the war, traveling to Ukraine became impossible. So we turned to neighboring countries – and found what we were looking for. Through a beekeeper forum, we discovered a community of traditional Polish beekeepers who supply us with exceptionally high-quality, flavor-packed honey.

We are particularly thrilled to continue offering our beloved buckwheat honey, cherished by many of our customers for its rich, malty aroma and versatile uses. We also offer: forest honey, coriander honey, silver fir honey, acacia honey, buckwheat honey, and sunflower honey.

Coriander

Silver Fir

Buckwheat

Honey from India

On our journeys through India, we discovered how diverse honey is in traditional Ayurveda teachings – and how deeply rooted it is in the everyday lives of many people. In some indigenous tribes, honey is still considered a staple food today, with people even living exclusively on it during certain seasons. In many rural regions of India, it is still common to give children a spoonful of honey in the morning and evening.

There we met passionate beekeepers and honey traders who offer up to 60 different types of honey – each with a unique taste, scent, and aroma, unlike anything found in Europe. Among them were precious mountain and forest honeys, dozens of herbal honeys, and even honey from stingless bees, which produce only around half a kilo per year – rarer and more expensive than any Manuka honey on the market.

Every January, we bring back an exclusive selection from India: Ambrosia, Arunachala,
Neem Honey, Tulsi Honey, Ginger Honey and Turmeric Honey.

Our honey varieties from India:

Ambrosia

Arunachala

Neem

Tulsi

Ingwer

Organic Honey – What Makes the Difference?

We don’t offer organic honey, and yet you get premium honey of organic quality.

You want to buy regional honey that not only comes from Germany but also reflects the values of honest beekeeping? Then you’ve come to the right place. Our honey is raw honey — natural, unprocessed, and free from any additives or industrial treatment.

And even though we offer you this organic quality, we are not allowed to label our jars as organic honey. Why?

It’s simple:

We prefer to invest in the quality of our honey rather than in expensive certifications. The annual certification costs for an organic label make the product more expensive — without making it any better. Our prices are based on real production costs: the jar, care of the bee colonies, harvesting, and fees.

We compete with hobby beekeepers, but we follow all the standards for professional beekeeping — honest, transparent, and passionate. Extra bureaucracy? Our bee colonies reject it just as much as we do.

What does that mean for you?

A natural premium product that can compete with any “certified” honey.

Our beehives are made exclusively from natural materials — no plastic or Styrofoam
We use no chemical medications
We do not clip the queen’s wings to prevent swarming
We do not artificially inseminate our queens
We do not exceed the natural hive temperature (<40°C) during honey processing
Winter feeding is done using our own regional honey

Our honey as cosmetics

Naturally beautiful with the power of bees – honey for skin & hair

A tradition thousands of years old

Honey is not only a popular natural food product but is also increasingly used in skin and hair care. Whether in a relaxing honey massage, as a honey mask, a nourishing ingredient in shampoos, or as a natural remedy for skin impurities — honey impresses with its many beneficial properties.

Honey for the skin can have a soothing and moisturizing effect. Its natural components — including enzymes, antioxidants, and sugars — support the skin barrier, making it a popular ingredient in natural cosmetics. Raw honey is especially favored for sensitive skin or skin prone to blemishes and acne.

Honey has also proven itself in hair care. As an ingredient in treatments, it provides moisture, softens dry hair, and adds a natural shine. A simple honey hair mask — for example, mixed with yogurt or oil — can work wonders.

Is honey healthy?

The effects of honey

Honey – More Than Just Sweet

Honey has been valued as a precious natural product for centuries. Unlike refined sugar, honey naturally contains a variety of natural ingredients that give it its characteristic taste and unique composition.

Ingredients in Honey

Honey is not only made up of glucose and fructose but also contains:

Enzymes such as glucose oxidase, which bees add during honey production.
Secondary plant compounds (polyphenols, flavonoids) responsible for the diversity of flavors.
Natural trace elements like potassium and magnesium in small amounts.

Honey vs. Sugar: The Difference

Compared to table sugar, honey has:

a lower glycemic index (GI) — it causes blood sugar levels to rise more slowly.
natural enzymes and aromatic compounds that sugar does not contain.
more moisture and a more complex composition that makes it unique.

A Versatile Natural Product

Many people enjoy honey in tea, baking, or simply on its own as a special treat. Its combination of sweetness, natural composition, and variety makes it a popular alternative to refined sugar.

(Note: Honey is a food, not a medicine.)

Honey in the kitchen

More than just a spread

Honey Mustard Dressing Recipe

Honey has become indispensable in many kitchens and is even a staple in many cultures. As an alternative to sugar, it impresses with its unique flavor and versatile uses. Whether sweetening teas, baking recipes, or savory dishes, honey adds not only sweetness but also depth and aroma to your plate.

While both products — honey and refined sugar — mainly consist of sugars, honey also contains enzymes, minerals, and antioxidant-rich plant compounds that are absent in regular table sugar. That’s why honey is often chosen as the more natural alternative.

An absolute classic among recipes with honey is the popular honey mustard dressing. It pairs perfectly with colorful salads, roasted vegetables, or grilled chicken. Here is a simple honey mustard dressing recipe for you:

Honey Mustard Dressing Recipe

1 tbsp of our coriander honey
1 tbsp mild mustard
3 tbsp extra virgin organic olive oil
1 tbsp white wine vinegar or fresh lemon juice
Salt & pepper to taste

Mix all ingredients well — and you have a wonderfully creamy dressing with a sweet and tangy note. Special tip: Using our coriander honey makes the dressing even more aromatic and intense.
