Honey is kind of having a moment right now, and this excites us here at Consommé. Not only is honey a truly delicious product that pairs with a multitude of different ingredients, but it also helps raise awareness for the bees and the delicate eco-system that they play a major role in. You’ve all heard the saying, that if the bees were to die - so would we. So, by treating your self to something super sweet, you are helping bee-keepers, honey-lovers and every one in-between keep the balance between the two. The world literally depends on you buying some of these delicious products. Can you feel that buzz of excitement in the air?! That’s because we have do we have some super sweet food and drink products for you that we know you are going to love just as much as we do.

Forthay Granola

Born from a consumer need during lockdown, Donna, the founder of a very successful B&B in the Cotswold Hills turned her hand to her beloved treasure to her guests - her delicious granola. Using all natural ingredients and focussing on a gluten-free and superfood content, Forthay Granola - which is made from nuts, dried fruit and honey (£12, for 2 450g bags, Forthay Granola) (among a few other secret ingredients) is a deliciously crunchy, sweet and oh-so-moorish granola that is worth getting out of bed for. It’s no surprise that they’ve won a Great Taste Award already they are truly one of the most delicious granola’s I’ve ever tried and could eat it by the bowlful - day and night.

Sauce Shop

Combining their award-winning Sriracha with just the right amount of honey - the Sauce Shop’s Honey Sriracha Drizzle (£3.49, Sauce Shop) - whose mission it is to make food more exciting and flavoursome have done just that. This sauce is the sauce of dreams. You can use it to dip, drizzle and delight dishes from across all cuisines. From wontons to pizza, ramen to a basic baked potato. Spice it up and let the perfect harmonious balance of honey sweeten on the back of the palate as the sweet kick keeps things going long after the mouthful has gone.

Gran Luchito Chipotle Honey

Luchito’s blend of pure Mexican honey with Gran Luchito chili paste (£3.30, MexGrocer) is a true game-changer; it will transform everything from humble glazed ham, spice up a BBQ marinade or can be simply served with cheese or spread on buttered toast! It packs a kick but not too overpowering as the combination of honey softens the blow.

Gosnells Mead

Calling their nectar, liquid flowers - Gosnells Mead takes their honey and carefully blends them together to create their Mead (a honey fermented alcohol) that is quite unlike any other meads I’ve tried. Their modern meads are a refreshing change to some of the more old-school on the market; their rebellious flavours and innovative sparkling canned meads are a definite talking point and a must-have purchase for any summer BBQ or picnic. We highly recommend purchasing their taster pack (£12, Gosnells) which contains four of their best-selling sparkling meads so you can find the one that works for you. Our favourite: the Hibiscus or the Citra Sea, both packed with complex flavours and dry finishes that can transport you to your happy place with just your first sip.

Delicario Walnuts in Honey

Freshly harvested walnuts fully immersed into a sticky sweet batch of only the purest delicate local acacia honey is what you are purchasing here. Something that will make you want to go back for seconds and to top on everything, sweet or savoury. These incredible walnuts (£7.65, Delicarioww.delicario.com/preserves-honey/p/delicario-walnuts-with-honey) somehow keep their crunch even though soaked through to the core which adds another level of depth with an incredible sweetness that pairs just as well with cheese as it does with pancakes.

Biotiful Honey & Ginger Kefir Drink

Upgrade any meal time with this delicious kefir that is subtly sweet but with a gingery kick that not only helps support your immune system and improve gut health but actually tastes like something quite the opposite. Biotiful’s Honey and Ginger Kefir Drink (£1.45, Waitrose) tastes like it should be something naughty - it’s creamy texture has that expected twang that comes with the live cultured kefir but its combination of floral blossom honey and warming ginger is more reminiscent of a luxurious parfait helping you feel good, while tasting good. Enjoy on its own, top on pancakes or waffles or pair with your favourite fruits for an even better feel good factor.

Fearne and Rosie Honey & Choc Spread

The beautiful British brand that has us buzzing is none other than Fearne & Rosie who create incredible spreads and honeys, aimed at children and reduced sugar. Even though they are aimed at the younger audience, that didn’t stop us double dipping our spoon in. Better advertised as made for families, we believe, as their products are perfect for both kids and adults alike. Because trust us, you would have a hard time keeping their Chocolate Honey £4.99, Fearne and Rosie) away from any parents. Made with less sugar than leading brand and without palm oil this deliciously smooth milk chocolate blend has mixed meadow honey for a building sweetness that makes your mouth water and your soul happy.

Lovingly Artisan's Honey and Malted Barley Sourdough Loaf

A favourite of ours (shh, don’t tell the others), Lovingly Artisan (£4.00, Lovingly Artisan) has done it again, and captured our hearts (and stomachs) with their infused bloom. Using Lake District Honey Co Blossom Honey which is a smooth and creamed honey to create a delightful loaf that is coarse in grain but sweetened in flavour. Not packing a huge punch but just enough to excite the sweet tastebuds as you bite into their thick dense sourdough loaf that is just begging to be slathered with a coating of extra honey, or even a touch of salted butter for the perfect treat any time of the day. Oh honey.

Honey, I Flunked The Kids

This witty can by Amity Brew is exactly the kind of product you would expect from them. Known for their out of the hive thinking, this sweetened can is the perfect brew for any lockdown parents who need a little bit of solace. Promoted as the perfect partner for any “exhausted parents and beer fans alike” you can all rejoice with this collaboration which sees national honey company Hilltop partner with Amity Brew Co crew which results in a sweet 7.4% Belgian Golden Ale (£5.00, Amity Brew) that is just the treat we all need right now; most definitely no kids allowed.

Honeycomb Pale Ale – SEVEN BRO7HERS BREWING CO

Imagine dipping your crunchie bar in your ale and letting its sweet chocolate layer melt away while it dissolves the comb underneath and this is exactly what you would be left with. Aptly described as a ‘crunchie in a can’ SEVEN BRO7HERS (£3.50) have created a golden heavenly treat that packs a sweet punch at 4% ABV - they pick carefully selected hops to infuse with the essence of honeycomb for their unique tasting can, while allowing it to be completely vegan-friendly.

Mandarin Balsamic Auroso Chocolates

Delectable chocolate crafters, Auroso are known for their use of honey in their products. They make ethically reduced sugar chocolates that are free from any nasties and then sweeten them with a beautiful spring small-batched honey local to their factory. You can really taste the difference in each bon bon, as the bees liquid nectar has been imparted with wild plum and cherry blossom that they feast upon. This rich and floral flavour works perfectly against Auroso’s flavour combinations and to our surprise, their Mandarin Balsamic (£10, Auroso Chocolate), which is infused with a 12 year Modena Balsamic, Greek Olive Oil and black cardamom for a hit of complex flavours unlike any you would have tried before. The perfect gift for the chocolate lover who enjoys a walk on the wild side.

Munchy Seeds Honey Roasted

Take sunflower and pumpkin seeds, coat them in sugar and honey and roast them and you will have exactly what you find inside Munchy Seeds (£0.99, Munchy Seeds) which come in everything from snack packs to bumper tubs, with the latter being our suggestion, because these are incredibly moorish. They have just the right sweetness that is mellowed up with the seeds interior. It’s like biting into a bit of the sunshine with every crunch. We can’t fault this product, at all. Truly flawless.

Skinny Food Honey Mustard

This bottle of Honey Mustard (£3.99, Skinny Food Co) perfectly encompasses the flavour and thought you get when those words are put in your head; they do so in such a delicious way - and without any gluten, fat or dairy. It has a very sweet flavour that is backed by the tang of the mustard on the back of your palate. Use sparingly as it really packs a punch and is perfect to drizzle over salads, roast veggies in or just add a splash of deliciousness to all your favourite dishes.

Haughton Honey - CBD Honey

The combination of CBD in honey was one that intrigued us from the beginning and now we are unsure how we ever managed to live without it. The carefully-sourced, British CBD is paired with English raw honey (£29.95, Haugton Honey) to create one of the finest honey’s we have ever had the delight of trying - and trust us - we have tried a hon or two. You have the immediate sweetness associated with all good quality honey’s that immediately starts to add their complex flavours on the palate showing off the bees wildflower harvest and floral favourites, before you are hit with the earthy twang that is the CBD’s addition to the party. Raw honey is known for its multitude of health benefits and this goes one step further, without compromising on the flavour. We never knew honey needed another level like this. It’s a genius product that is perfect for any honey lover.
