Where it comes from
What is White Himalayan Honey?
White Himalayan Honey comes from the Humla district in Nepal. It is produced by Apis cerana bees kept by local beekeepers, who harvest the honey once a year, between September and October.
Humla lies in the remote north-west of Nepal, high in the Himalaya. One place and one short harvest a year: that is what makes this honey rare. It is white when it is harvested and gradually turns yellowish over time.
