Zambili Honey
Complex, well-rounded and award-winning
Deep in the heart of Africa lies a vast expanse of land that time has preserved and enriched: The Miombo Forest. Buzzing with life, this wild and vibrant forest is where our honey is created. African honeybees roam far and free to browse on the abundant nectars of their biodiverse habitat, to produce one of the
world’s finest rich, raw and infinitely organic honeys.
The result is a rich, dark, complex and exceptionally well-rounded honey, with subtle notes of dark caramel and spice.

A High Intensity of Health
& Medicinal Properties
Tropical temperatures and vibrant growing conditions in the Miombo Forest result in the trees and plants producing a high intensity of anti-microbial and phytonutrient properties. These health properties are imbued into the nectar of the flowers and transferred directly into the honey.
Our gentle filtration process; La Methode Ancienne- preserves the goodness of the honey which we deliver raw from hive to table.
Certified Organic & from an Ancient, Indigenous & Biodiverse Forest
The Miombo Forest is a vast and expansive ecoregion, stretching across most of central Africa, and covering over 1 million square kilometres in Zambia alone.
Being sparsely inhabited by humans, this ancient, indigenous and naturally biodiverse landscape is literally ‘organic as far as the eye can see’.
No nearby commercial agriculture means our products 100% free from pesticides and anti-biotics or any chemical residue.
Honey Health Properties
Scientific testing has shown that our honey contains natural compounds with healing benefits:
ANTI- BACTERIAL 🦠
Kynurenic acid (absent from monoflora honeys) acts as a proven anti-microbial agent, effective in the treatment of wounds and ulcers.
BRAIN HEALTH 🧠
Betul in and Vomifoliol have
neuroprotective properties.
ANTI-OXIDANT &
ANTI- INFLAMMATORY 🧘🏽♀️
Abscisic Acid, P-Menthane- 1,2,8-Triol and Quercetin have powerful anti-oxidant properties.
ANTI- AGEING💋
Quercetin’s anti-oxidant properties
help to slow down the ageing process.

Five Hundred Years of Tradition
Our honey is harvested from A 500-year-old, sustainable method with natural bark hives in the forest treetops by rural beekeepers. Using an entirely natural smoke, created from fallen forest leaves, honeycomb is sustainably extracted, safely packed and carried on bicycles, motorbikes or trucks to filtration plants.
