Honey as it was a thousand years ago in hard to find trees
Come discover the flavour and organoleptic properties through a unique journey in time. ANTIQUE by XERA has more antiseptic and antioxidant properties due to the dehydration that occurs during the harvest inside old trees by native bees in the wild and it’s harvested inside hard to find trees that are more than 1200 years old.
ANTIQUE by Xera is fresher and more floral although it maintains it’s characteristic reddish darkness with the same nutrients and antioxidant and antiseptic power. In addition, it preserves the characteristic variety of organic acids typical of cinerea.
Ancient trees mean thick bark, which directly affects the way Apis Mellifera Mellifera works, which is forced to concentrate a greater amount of solid on a smaller interior surface. Honey harvested in these circumstances becomes forty times denser and improves the presence of organic acids and essential nutrients.
ANTIQUE by Xera preserves remote traditions in the collection and relies on our leading laboratories to extract and preserve a unique taste in honey, amino acids, antioxidant and antibacterial properties far above others.
With ANTIQUE by Xera we choose the most ancient and nutrient-rich environment.
CINEREA HONEY STANDS OUT FOR ITS CONTENT OF ORGANIC ACIDS
Fresh superfood with a unique aroma.
Organic acids such as cis, and trans-abscisic acid, are potential markers of this variety of honey. Studies have found that heather honey has a significant amount of quinic acid, which distinguishes it from other honeys. In addition, it has been observed that heather honey may contain galacturonic acid, a component not found in other honeys. These characteristics make heather honey have unique properties compared to other honey varieties in terms of its organic acid composition (Cherchi, A., Spanedda, L., Tuberoso, C. I. G., Cabras, P., & Angioni, A. . (1994). Determination of organic acids in honey from Sardinia. Journal of Apicultural Research, 33(2), 65-69).
All these qualities make Xera honey a superfood with enormous potential on a medical and well-being level.
Our wild honeys enhance the presence of organic acids and their antioxidant capacity through the production of bees in complete freedom . These unique characteristics make Xera the best exponent of the natural, antimicrobial and antioxidant properties of honey.
By maintaining the purity and freshness of our raw cinerea honey in the laboratory, we manage to preserve the medicinal effects of ANTIQUE by Xera. That comes to you with all the guarantees. And in the perfect container to preserve and enjoy its qualities.
Analysis and tasting before shipment to guarantee distinctive properties
The unique qualities of Xera mean that to be chosen from each year’s harvest our honeys must pass quality controls to meet (and maintain) the flavour, colour, consistency and aromatic qualities that we demand from our one of a kind honey. And guarantee the compositional and therefore therapeutic qualities of the honey itself.
ANTIQUE by Xera: wild production in pure chosen environments provides magnificent properties and benefits
Harvested inside trees more than 1200 years old
We bring nature in its purest state to your home
ANTIQUE by Xera is a honey chosen for its location and the properties it provides
More antiseptic and antioxidant properties for the most precious and powerful honey in flavor, aroma and qualities that currently exists in the world
At Xera we are obliged to take care of by processing it first in wild environments, with totally natural means and without human intervention, and then with the subsequent obtaining by decanting and preserving the honey in the laboratory, at a constant temperature and in conditions of total protection.
The wild production of honey provides magnificent organoleptic benefits. And the unique qualities of Xera mean that to be chosen from each year’s harvest our honeys must first finish the cultivation cycle successfully in an isolated and wild environment. Which in itself is not easy at all. But in addition, Xera honey collected by gravity, without filtering and by traditional methods must pass quality controls to meet (and maintain) the flavour, colour, consistency and aromatic qualities that we demand from our one of a kind honey. And guarantee the compositional and therefore therapeutic qualities of the honey itself.
Floral sweetness and dense bitter flavour with a light woody bouquet
With a unique flavor and a color that highlights its dense and rich texture, the way of obtaining ANTIQUE from Xera makes the most of the qualities of the environment.
We celebrate nature by choosing for you the best places and ancient trees to preserve a culture that has been with us for thousands of years
What makes ANTIQUE by Xera one of the honeys with the most antioxidant and antimicrobial properties in the world is the presence of more organic acids than other kinds of honey, and the raising of wild bees in freedom is essential for this to happen. Each swarm works in a place and under certain conditions of humidity, light and heat. Wild in nature and free of exogenous factors, the hive creates its ecosystem and reproduces conditions of dehydration and concentration of particular nutrients, typical of that honeycomb and that specific ecosystem and not others.
The organoleptic characteristics of Antique by Xera are the result of harvesting ancient woods, which gives a floral sweetness and dense bitter flavour with a light woody aroma. With a unique flavour and a colour that highlights its dense and rich texture
