Acacia Honey with Bourbon Vanilla [ORGANIC]

Organic Acacia Honey with Bourbon Vanilla: Mild Sweetness Meets Real Vanilla

The Organic Acacia Honey with Bourbon Vanilla from the Neber organic apiary combines mild acacia honey from the Weinviertel region with real organic Bourbon vanilla from Madagascar. Finely vanilla-scented, harmoniously sweet, and free from artificial flavorings. A refined organic honey from Austria.

Organic Acacia Honey with Bourbon Vanilla is a honey specialty from the Neber organic apiary: light, mild acacia honey from the Weinviertel in Lower Austria, combined with real, organic Bourbon vanilla from Madagascar. Anton Neber, a master beekeeper since 2002, refines the base product in his own "Honig-GENUSS-keller" (Honey Delight Cellar) in Sankt Lorenzen im Mürztal in Upper Styria. What ends up in the 250-gram jar is a refined organic honey from Austria—made from natural ingredients, without artificial flavorings.

Mild, vanilla-scented, harmonious

In the jar, the Organic Acacia Honey with Bourbon Vanilla appears almost water-clear with dark specks of vanilla; on the spoon, the delicate sweetness of the acacia honey unfolds together with the warm, full aroma of real Bourbon vanilla. Unlike industrially flavored honey, it does not taste perfumed, but rather round and natural—the vanilla bean seeds and pieces remain visible in the jar.

The base is a classic acacia honey: very light, clear, and featuring the mild, floral acacia character of the black locust blossom. To produce it, Anton Neber takes his Carnica bee colonies to the Weinviertel region east of Vienna between mid and late May—a single bee colony can collect about 7 kilograms of acacia honey there on a good day. Thanks to its high fructose content, even the vanilla-flavored organic honey remains liquid in the jar for a long time.

Acacia honey with vanilla – for desserts and as a spread

In desserts, ice cream specialties, or vanilla pudding, the Organic Acacia Honey with Bourbon Vanilla provides a double dose of natural sweetness—real vanilla lifts the aroma rather than masking it. On a slice of butter braided bread, lightly toasted with butter, it becomes a small feast at the breakfast table.

The real vanilla shines in quark dishes with fresh berries, in warm porridge with banana, or as a glaze on grilled peaches. In your cup of tea or coffee, it dissolves in water below 40 degrees—a teaspoon turns your morning into a moment of pleasure.

Three generations of beekeeping from Upper Styria

Behind the Neber organic apiary are Anton and Gerlinde Neber, a third-generation family apiary from Sankt Lorenzen im Mürztal in Upper Styria. Anton completed his master beekeeper certification at the Styrian Beekeeping School in 2002 and has been working with the native Carnica bee ever since. Gerlinde manages the partnership and handles sales in the Honey Delight Cellar.

Anton Neber sees himself as a honey refiner: in addition to single-origin honey, his range includes an unusually wide spectrum of refined specialties with Bourbon vanilla, gold leaf, chopped pumpkin seeds, forest berries, or cornelian cherries. He pays attention to the best ingredients from the region or—as with the vanilla—to certified organic quality from specialists, as he describes the concept when discussing his product range. Since 2007, the honey has been gently extracted in the in-house Honey Delight Cellar without being heated. In the Neber organic apiary product range, you will find other refined specialties.

Never put in the microwave

It is best kept between 10 and 18 degrees Celsius in a dark place. Warm it in a water bath at a maximum of 40 degrees for five to ten minutes if the consistency becomes firmer—this preserves the enzymes. Never heat it in the microwave. For a small tasting session, try it alongside the single-origin Organic Acacia Honey—this way, you can recognize how the vanilla carries the base note.
