Heather honey from Ezcaray
Natural heather honey harvested in Ezcaray (La Rioja). Beekeeper Matías Esteban Garrido. Hand-harvested.
The apiaries are located on the slopes of Zaldierna Mountain, a village in Ezcaray, next to the Oja River. Heather is abundant in this area, especially in spring.
Beekeeping Culture in Ezcaray. High Mountain Honey
Our hive settlements are located along the Oja Valley, in the Sierra de la Demanda.
This vast area offers excellent flora, primarily heather, woodland and undergrowth, oak, holm oak, and bramble. At the same time, along the banks of the Oja River, families of willows with a high pollination capacity.
Currently, the most demanding honey consumers are families with children, who demand organic honey, which is our present and future.
Our region offers us this opportunity, and although the work is sometimes not easy, the quality and flavor are the best reward.

Properties and benefits of heather honey
Heather honey has numerous properties and benefits, so it's a good idea to include it in your regular diet in appropriate amounts, unless medically contraindicated. Among its properties, we highlight:
- Astringent.
- Skin moisturizer.
- Antiseptic.
- Diuretic.
- Relaxing.
These properties translate into a series of health benefits, of which we've already mentioned the kidneys and circulatory system as the main beneficiaries. But there's even more:
- Circulatory system: Heather honey promotes coronary circulation, helping to reduce the risk of heart attacks, arrhythmias, and angina, among other coronary conditions.
- Renal system: Heather honey is very useful for helping cleanse the bladder and prevent prostate problems and cystitis. It's also beneficial for the kidneys because it minimizes the risk of developing stones.
- Digestive system: For people with diarrhea, it helps regulate their bowel movements, although it should be taken in moderation to alleviate constipation.
- Skin: This honey is also widely used to treat minor burns and wounds because it prevents infection and speeds healing. From a beauty perspective, it has great moisturizing properties for the skin.
