John Mellis’ bees produce the best ling heather honey from the heather clad hills of Southwest Scotland. This is by far a connoisseur’s honey. John is a much respected apiarist in the UK. There are so many recipes for shortbread but the family-owned Shortbread House of Edinburgh excels with their flavorful shortbread recipes. The gift themed packaging will stand out on any retail shelf. Our teas and coffees are imported from two Edinburgh based companies, Brodies 1867 and the Edinburgh Tea & Coffee Co. These tea merchants blend some of the finest teas in Scotland. The Famous Edinburgh tea is a classic. ET&C’s Whisky tea and coffee are in great demand. Because the traditional Scottish dish of haggis cannot be imported, an entrepreneurial chef in Texas created a haggis recipe and launched the Caledonian Kitchen brand. The haggis is made from prime sirloin beef, lamb, and beef from the Highland cattle breed.

Marmalade blended with the Islay single malt scotch whisky. Laphroaig – pronounced La-froyg –is one of the most divisive Scotch whiskies, loved by those who enjoy its medicinal, smoky flavour and looked on in amazement by those who don’t, it remains one of the most popular. Laphroaig distillery sits on the south coast of Islay, the first of the three Kildalton distilleries.

JOHN MELLIS APIARIES

With 400 hives covering 100 square miles of Dumfries & Galloway, John Mellis is fast becoming known as one of Scotland’s most successful bee farmers, with his honey in great demand for it’s unique flavor. The distinctive flavour of his honey is down to the countryside the hives are positioned in, with trees, wild flowers and heather providing the nectar the bees need. John Mellis works hard at achieving such distinctive flavours in his honey, actually transporting hives throughout the season to the most interesting flower sources to save the bees making long flights in search of their precious nectar!

This honey is well known for its strong “smokey” flavor with a distinct bite. The connoisseurs choice.

In July hives are moved to the heather moors and initially the bees collect from the bell heather, clover and other flowers of the upland pastures. Latterly they gather the distinctive ling heather and the resulting blend is a honey with an extremely good flavor.

A blend of honey from various floral sources, harvested throughout the summer and with a mild, quite sweet flavor. Will include nectar from clover, willowherb, lime, wild raspberry, bramble and many other sources. The set version has a smooth creamed texture and includes some oil seed rape which helps to give the fine grain structure.
