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.
