At the end of May 2023 I participated in a highly informative and enjoyable honey sommelier course. In the space of a week we learned a great deal about the world of honey and tasted a large number of samples learning to recognise defects, olfactory as well as gustatory characteristics. We also visited an apiary and heard from a local producer of their practices and issues affecting production in our times. I can’t wait to share this knowledge with the guests on my retreats and elsewhere.
