What is honey basically?
Honey is created by bees, collecting and processing flower nectar or other plant sap while visiting flowers.
When a bee sucks nectar, it mixes it with secretions from its glands and passes it on to its sisters to enrich it with enzymes. It then stores it in the hive to mature.
By flapping their wings, bees dry the honey, which is considered ripe when it contains 17% water. And, finally, before the bees seal the honey in the comb, they add formic acid to it as a preservative.
Did you know that a single honey bee produces only 1/12 teaspoon of honey in its lifetime?
How do we collect honey?
Every jar of honey travels a long way to your table. Find out how.
Each beekeeping year begins at the end of summer with the preparation of bee colonies for winter and the following year's honey harvest. Bees are provided with a sufficient amount of natural food, honey and pollen to guarantee them a successful wintering, which is also the most critical period for bees. In addition to food, bees need peace in the apiary. Bees emerge from the hives with the first harbingers of spring.
The first pollen they collect is hazel pollen, followed by pollen from spring flowers. This is followed by grazing on acacia and chestnut, almost until the end of summer. After each grazing, we collect honey.
We separate honey from bees exclusively in a natural, humane way, without the use of chemicals. For this purpose, we use so-called "escapes", one-sided passages after which we collect full combs and replace them with empty ones.
We take off the wax covers in the spinning wheel and put the honey in the spinning wheel. Honey is extracted from the honeycomb by means of centrifugal force and squeezed through three sieves. Honey is never thermally processed. For the sake of maximum honey quality, all the accessories we use are exclusively made of INOX.
After bottling, the honey is stored in specialized barrels. We then fill honey jars, which we label with specially designed labels with signs of verified quality. Each of our honey jars has its own code, which allows you to check the origin of the honey, the type and the geolocation of where the honey was collected.
O čemu ovisi boja i aroma meda?
Boja meda određena je sadržajem željeza, bakra i mangana te sadržajem pigmenata karotenoida, flavonoida, klorofila i drugih sastojaka iz biljaka. Aroma meda ovisi o aromatičnim tvarima iz pčelinje paše. Okus meda ovisi o količini fruktoze, glukoze, aminokiselina i organskih kiselina.
Što je kristalizacija meda?
Kristalizacija meda je prirodni proces kristalizacije glukoznog šećera, prilikom čega med prelazi iz tekućeg prozirnog stanja u gustu masu. Kristalizacija nikako ne utječe na kvalitetu meda. Med opet postane tekući ukoliko teglu kristaliziranog meda stavite u vodu zagrijanu na 40˚C.
Čuvanje i skladištenje meda
Iako se smatra da dobro skladišten med ima
neograničen rok uporabe teško je odrediti pravi rok trajanja ove
namirnice. U prehrambenoj se industriji najčešće uzima rok trajnosti od
dvije godine. Najvažnije je da med bude skladišten u nepropusnim
posudama van dohvata vlage iz okoline. Preporuka ga je čuvati dobro
zatvorenog na hladnom i tamnom mjestu.
What are the basic ingredients of honey?
The composition of honey also depends on the climate and the season of the year. Honey is a mixture of more than 180 different ingredients. Of the carbohydrates in honey, about 80 percent is sugar, and there are as many as 24 types of it. There are also many other beneficial substances; amino acids, various vitamins (C, D, E, K, B1, B2, B5, B6), iron, magnesium, sodium, potassium, calcium, phosphorus, zinc, iodine, copper, chromium and selenium and other substances that together make a unique natural healthy food. Due to the large differences in composition, standardization of honey is almost impossible.
