Pure joy of flavours
”I love bees, since in them you are able to see the beauty, goodness and joy of life. From a beehive you can see and hear, is everything well. The bees also tell me, what kind of summer is going on. Raising the queen bees and beekeeping hum deep in my heart.”
-Apiarist Antti
Ahontuvan Tarhat
In the coutryside and by the pine forests of Central Finland is the premium quality honey produced. Dedicating to the most delicious creation of the nature and combining Finnish flavours with piety Apiarist Antti scultures the gold of the bees to pure joy of flavours.
The secret ingredient of the most perfect flavour
Honey is the best nature offers us. Clean, healthy, delicious – the lightness and joy of the summer as sweet taste. Honey enriches the flavour and is irreplaceable support in cooking. Honey is the secret ingredient of the rich flavour.
High quality and Finnish ingredients
The most delicious pearl of the nature deserves worthy partners to the journey of flavours. That is why I’m never ready to bargain on the quality nor the amount of the ingredients in my products. High quality and Finnish origin are the cornerstones of my work. I’ve used years to improve the sea buckthorn gelee and it is only now that I feel I’ve succeeded.
Incredible flavor combinations
The flavours of Ahontuvan Tarhat are real, special and full of joy. My dearest guests I offer bread cheese with sea buckthorn jelly. My own favourite is still garlic honey on top of roasted rye bread.
