Nerale

Jamun · raw, single-forest

Nothing blended in. One forest, one harvest, one jar.

The lid tells you everything. Which day, which forest.

The bees keep their home. Only the surplus leaves.

Breaks in transit? Another jar. Send a photo, that’s all.

Reserve honeys aren’t split into smaller jars - the harvest is too small to divide.

[TASTING NOTE - two or three words of taste.] Pressed from a single [BLOOM MONTH] bloom in the Sirsi forest - nothing added, nothing heated past hive warmth, nothing filtered out except wax.

What monofloral means

One flower, one jar

Every flower's nectar carries its own sugars, minerals and aromatic oils. That is what sets a honey's colour, flavour and texture - not the hive, not any process, the flower alone. Monofloral means one flower did that work, start to finish.

What it is What it isn’t

One bloom, worked while it lasts A blend of whatever was flowering

Colour, flavour and texture set by that flower's nectar Flavour or colour added afterward

Different jar to jar, because the bloom differs Every jar made to taste the same

One harvest, once a year Topped up all year round

A pale, mild honey and a dark, strong one can come from hives an hour apart - the difference is which flower was in bloom, not what we did to it.

Two spoons a day

You switched to honey to be healthier. Does it actually do anything?

Yes - at two tablespoons a day, in place of sugar. Across 18 trials and 1,105 people, that dose moved five markers.

Fasting glucose lower across the pooled trials

LDL & total cholesterol both fell at ~40 g daily

Triglycerides rises fastest on refined sugar

HDL the one you want going up

Blood pressure eases with each 10 g a day

The flower

A bloom that lasts weeks, not months

Jamun - Syzygium cumini - flowers once, between [BLOOM WINDOW]. The bees work that bloom while it lasts, and what they store in those weeks is the whole year’s supply of this honey. When the flowers drop, there is no more Nerale until the bloom returns.
