Heather Honey, or Mel de Urzes in Portuguese.
A dark honey with a strong taste collected by the bees from the heathers of the Natural Park of Serra da Estrela, the highest mountain range in Portugal.
In the highest slopes of Serra da Estrela, various heathers predominate: Queiró (Erica umbellata), Torga (Erica australis), and White heather (Erica lusitanica). It is in these flowers that bees gather this dark coloured honey with a very characteristic taste - Heather Honey from Serra da Estrela.
