Rowse’s new Light & Mild and Supahoney Range



If you like honey then you are in for a treat as Rowse, (pronounced like 'house') the UK's honey brand has some new products.

First I want to give you some facts about honey, the favourite of Winnie the Pooh and food of Pharaohs, the facts I discovered  on the ROWSE website and others I found on Google or knew already.

Honey is one of the oldest foods in existence. It was found in the tomb of King Tutankhamun and was still edible!



Bees are the only insect in the world that make food that people can eat
Honey is created when bees mix plant nectar, a sweet substance secreted by flowers, with their own bee enzymes.






One bee will only make 1/12 of a teaspoon on honey in its entire life

It would take 1,100 bees to make 1kg of honey and they would have to visit 4 million flowers

There are lots of different types of honey which taste different depending on the flowers used to make it

Honey is the only food that includes all the substances necessary to sustain life, including water.

Honey contains vitamins and antioxidants, but is fat free, cholesterol free and sodium free!

OK its a superfood,  if you did not know this where have you been??

Its also vital we save our honey bees too, so grow some bee friendly plants folks!

NEW ROWSE SUPAHONEY – MANUKA HONEY WITH A TWIST


ROWSE HONEY has launched a new and exquisite blend of Manuka and clear honey – Rowse Supahoney. 



Firstly Rowse I love the new jars they are shaped like a honeycomb cell. The label too and a cute bee imprinted on the jar. This appeals to me, I love bees and they should be included on the food they provide.
The taste is really god. I tended to just have this on multigrain toasted bread. Its sweet but there is a herby taste, not sure I can define the actual herb, but its present.
The Supahoney with lemon is beautiful, you know my passion for all things lemon, so this one is hidden at the back of the cupboard for me only!!

The Manuka honey is combined with  honey in both of these, its 50% of Manuka Honey (5+.)
Great for drinks and on porridge too.
The Rowse Supahoney range encompasses four enticing varieties, including: Supahoney Original, Supahoney with Lemon and coming soon Supahoney with Cranberry and Supahoney with Ginger.

Manuka has been treasured by the Maori for centuries due to its anti-bacterial properties – one or two teaspoonfuls in a hot drink can help soothe a sore throat and make for a speedy recovery, which can be very useful now the weather is turning and with kids now back at school and illnesses being easily passed around!

Rowse Supahoney is priced at £3.99 for a 250g jar and is available from all leading supermarkets.






 Rowse Light and Mild is a versatile everyday honey that can be used as an alternative to sugar when cooking and baking. It tastes great spread on toast, but is ideal for drizzling and mixing into foods – from adding to porridge or natural yoghurt's and ice cream, to stirring into drinks or mixing into a salad dressing, Rowse Light and Mild has a use to suit every culinary occasion.


It is also a delicious way to introduce children to honey. Rowse Light and Mild has a subtle flavour making it the perfect choice for kids, who will love the sweet taste it brings to recipes. It really is a taste sensation the whole family can enjoy.

Rowse Light and Mild has a RRP of £2.69 for a 340g easy-squeeze bottle and is available from all leading supermarkets.

We love this, its a mild sweet and full of honey flavour, its was Chris said not claggy, hard to explain this one as its a new word to me.
 Claggy stickily clinging, as mud

I love this on toast, its satisfyingly sweet, its a honey that you would not get fed up with. Oh and I agree not claggy, its smooth on the tongue.
