Ivy flowers late in the season, when most other sources have finished. It sets firm and pale, with a mild, clean, slightly nutty flavour. One of the most distinctly Irish honeys you can buy.
100% raw ivy honey from the Cooley Peninsula. Nothing added, never heated.
Contains honey. Not suitable for infants under 12 months. May contain natural traces of pollen and other bee products.
Keep at room temperature, out of direct sunlight. Raw honey crystallises naturally over time, which is normal. To soften, stand the jar in warm (not boiling) water.
Raw, unblended and unheated. Batch-numbered and dated. Sold direct for local collection at Mullabane, Carlingford.
Ivy is the last forage of the year. When most nectar sources have finished, the bees work the ivy along the stone walls and field edges of the Cooley Peninsula through the autumn.
The result is one of the most distinctly Irish honeys you can buy: pale, firm-set and mild, with a clean, slightly nutty character. If your jar arrives looking almost white and solid, that is exactly what pure ivy honey does.
That is exactly what pure ivy honey does. It crystallises quickly and fully into a firm, pale set. It is a sign of raw, unprocessed honey, not a fault.
Mild, clean and slightly nutty, without the strong sweetness of a wildflower honey. A good choice for people who find most honey too sweet.
Yes. It is lovely on warm soda bread, with a sharp cheese, in tea, or in cooking where you want sweetness without a strong floral note.
“Did not know ivy honey was a thing until I tried Niamh’s. Pale and firm-set, lovely and mild on warm soda bread.”

“Set hard and pale just like she said it would. Perfect in a cup of tea. Real honey, you can tell.”
