Swiss alpine honey - product range overview

This range of 12 outstanding alpine honeys has been carefully selected by alpuris to create an absolutely new, unique and amazing taste experience. We collaborate closely with small beekeepers all over the Alps to enable you the sweetest alpine taste journey from Val des Dix in the Canton Valais to the Val Müstair in Grisons. Great honey is like a fingerprint of the landscape where it was made - not mixed with other honeys, not heated or treated in any way. Enjoy pure Swiss alpine taste!

Please find the detailed description of all these items in our webshop below.

Note: All of these natural honeys are of limited availability and thus it might happen that some of them are sold out before the next harvest arrives. New honeys start to come in from July to September depending on the harvest time in the different regions. We are sorry for this situation but we do hope that our customers understand the circumstances and the limitations given by truly natural and small scale productions.



Wooden gift boxes - handcrafted in the Alps

Please find the detailed description of all these items in our webshop below. All prices are for the empty box, the final price is the sum of the box and the honeys that are selected to go into the box.



Creamed Pignia spring honey

This honey from the dandelion meadows close to the village of Pignia, Canton Grisons, has been stirred "just to the point of perfection" as beekeeper Gion Grischott says. Now it's creamy and remains like this for years - ready for all honey gourmets. This honey has a soft texture with a bright and intense yellow color. The bees made it mostly from dandelion nectar. BioSuisse organic and demeter certified. Swiss BioGourmet and international Honey Quality award in gold! Simply amazing. The 2020 harvest just arrived.

Alp Niemet alpine rose honey

An Alpine rose honey as pure as it can get. A few days after the harvest, it's liquid with a  light yellow color, absolutely clear. Once it is cristallized, as all natural honeys do over time, it has a bright white color like I've never seen with any other honey. The taste is true alpine roses, like a greating from the heights of Alp Niemet where the bees collected their nectar at an altitude of 2000m asl. Organic and demeter. BioGourmet award! A true gourmet treat worth exploring for all honey lovers.

Valais linden honey "Euseigne", 1000m

The small mountain village Euseigne is the home of passionate and experienced beekeeper Patrick Bourdin. When we visited him the first time, Patrick took us to all of his three different bee locations (1000m, 1500m and 2000m altitude), and we were truly amazed by the beauty of these locations amidst unspoiled nature and also of the quality of the different honey varieties. What differentiates Patrick's honeys from other Swiss honeys are the strong and healthy herbal contents and the intensity of taste (a result from dry climate, pure unspoiled nature and beekeeping skills).

Val des Dix "Riod" blossom&forest honey, 1500m

A broad range of wild flower blossoms with hints of silver fir honeydew makes this honey a unique treat. Due to the dry climate the honey harvest is especially low in the alpine regions of Valais, and we are very happy that we can offer you this rarity. The honey stems from beekeeper Patrick Bourdin and his bees living at an altitude of 1500m asl in the remote Val Des Dix region.

Taste: Intense, strong, concentrated. Multiple alpine flowers and honeydew. Healthy herbs and fruits.

Consistency: Liquid, remains like this for a few more months.

Entlebuch forest honey

This honeydew honey of Beat Schärli stems from a nature preserve. It is collected from an Entlebuch silver fir forest - but not every year, as it takes special climate conditions to allow a sufficient honeydew source for the bees to produce this dark brown, rich and intense forest honey. One of the great pillars of Swiss Alpine Honeys. Canton Lucerne.

Valle di Blenio blossom honey

This organic, rich and flavorsome alpine summer honey is harvested from beehives at about 1000 m a.s.l.

Val Poschiavo creamed honey

Val Poschiavo is a remote and very green, natural valley in the South of Switzerland. There are mighty mountains like the Piz Palü with an altitude of 3900 m, and also villages like Campocologno at a low altitude of 550 m (i.e. low for Switzerland...). The valley stretches from the Berninapass to the Italian border and has three different climate zones - a true discovery for everyone interested in nature and culture! Beekeeper Diego Lardelli produces a powerful summer blossom honey, with influence of buckwheat blossoms (as shown in the images), and flavors that include alpine roses from higher altitudes.
