Well, let me first talk about honey in general:- honeys are either mono-floral or multi-floral. In multi-floral honeys the bees collect nectar from a variety of flowers around at the time. Each flowers' nectar produces its own tasting honey so a multi-floral honey is a mixture of different tastes. Mono-floral honey - is (you've guessed it) from a single type of flower. Heather Honey is produced by the bees collecting nectar from heather flowers found in the Scottish Highlands. It is a unique taste of Scotland as the "taste" of the nectar depends upon the soil and water in which the plant is fed. To compare a multi-floral honey with a mono floral honey is like comparing a table wine with a Chablis. Hope I haven't bored anyone too much with that .... can easily get carried away talking about bees and honey (fascinating little creatures!)
