This white honey is the result of foraging at altitudes of over 2000 metres, an altitude that has an undeniable effect on this wild flower honey.
Contrary to popular belief, this honey is not monofloral. Indeed, its colour comes from the bees' foraging for sainfoin, alfalfa and sweet clover. It is therefore called polyfloral honey, which means that it comes from several flowers.
The sainfoin remains the majority element in this honey, the latter is used in many fields including agriculture. Indeed, it is a food base for the feeding of certain animals. Thus, its development is very important in Kyrgyzstan.
Our honey comes from the Jailloo Valley where beekeeping is highly developed, it is a region where tourists like to go for its resplendent landscapes. However, the bees' favourite area is still preserved. It could not be otherwise as this valley is vast and wild.
