Three Bears

Three Bears is a honey label whose mellow mild honey is designed for everyday family use, a light, smooth runny honey with a clean, gentle sweetness. Mild honeys like this suit people who find stronger, darker honeys too intense, and anyone who wants honey to sweeten food without changing its taste.

We stock Three Bears in our honey collection, part of the breakfast and spreads department. It is a pourable honey, so it sits with the runny jars and squeeze bottles, and its mild character makes it the most neutral choice on the shelf for cooking and baking.

Stir it into porridge or overnight oats, drizzle it over pancakes and fruit salad, or spread it on hot toast and crumpets. A mild honey will not overpower a cup of green tea, a honey and lemon drink or a mug of warm milk, and it blends smoothly into salad dressings, marinades for tandoori salmon and honey chilli potatoes. Because the flavour is gentle, it also works in place of sugar in a mango lassi or a honey cake without masking the other ingredients.

Keep honey sealed and at room temperature, out of direct sun; a jar left somewhere cold may thicken, and a short warm water bath softens it. To compare a fuller multiflora honey, see the jars from Shafia, and pair this one with our porridge and cereals.
