This Samra Marbai Dark Honey comes to you directly from the heart of Yemen, where it is traditionally valued. It is a pure, monofloral honey, gathered by bees primarily from the blossoms of the Samra tree, also known as Acacia tortilis. These resilient trees thrive in Yemen's arid landscapes, giving this honey its distinct character and ensuring its genuine Yemeni origin. You will find Samra honey offers a robust and complex flavour, with a unique balance of sweetness and a subtle hint of bitterness. Many describe notes of butterscotch and caramel, often with a pleasant smoky undertone that lingers. Its texture is typically thick, dense, and creamy, and while all raw honey can crystallise naturally over time, Samra honey often remains liquid for longer periods. We ensure it is raw and cold-extracted, keeping its natural qualities intact without overheating or industrial refining. You can enjoy this dark honey in many ways; it makes a wonderful natural sweetener for your morning tea or coffee, or drizzled over yogurt and pancakes. Its rich flavour also makes it excellent for marinades or in hearty baked goods. To keep your Samra honey at its best, store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, ideally between 18-24°C. Please remember not to refrigerate it, as this can speed up natural crystallisation.
