What makes Oku white honey different
Open a jar of Oku white honey and the first surprise is the colour. It is pale cream rather than amber, and it sets firm enough to spread with a knife. The second surprise is the taste: mild, floral, with none of the sharpness of darker honeys.
Where it comes from
The honey is harvested around Mount Oku in Cameroon’s Northwest Region, in the Kilum-Ijim forest high above the plains. The bees forage on the forest’s flowering trees, and that particular mix of flowers is what gives the honey its colour and its flavour. It cannot be copied elsewhere, which is why Oku white honey carries a protected geographical indication.
How to enjoy it
Because it is so mild, Oku honey works best where you can taste it: spread on warm bread, stirred into plain yogurt, or dissolved in a cup of our Heritage Blend cocoa. Keep it at room temperature. If it softens in summer, that is normal.
