OLLY’S STORY:

I’m Olly Nolan, a beefarmer and smallholder in the Dublin Mountains. I produce award winning, 100% raw Irish honey, including heather, blossom & softset honey from my many different apiaries around Dublin and Wicklow. I also produce grass fed Dexter beef, vegetables, eggs and much more. Follow my journey as I show you what is going on up on our little piece of land in the Dublin mountains. I only sell honey and other beehive products that are made by my bees. My goal is as I grow as a business the original fundamentals and reasons for starting remain the same, to produce the best honey in Ireland in a sustainable and natural way.

 

ETHICAL TECHNIQUES | PRACTISES:

Here is a little explanation about my raw Irish honey that’s available at different times throughout the year. As these are seasonal some of the products such as heather cut comb is in limited supply and likely to run out. All the honey that I produce is truly local being collected by my bees from my apiaries around South Dublin and North Wicklow. It is sold as raw honey; this means that the honey has minimal processing and is not pasteurised in any way. The honey is simply extracted from the frames and cold filtered, which means that it passes through a course filter to remove large particles such as wax cappings or propolis. The raw honey is never heated to make it pass through fine filters or to turn it into a run honey like that is found in the supermarket. As a result my honey will always crystalize naturally, the link explains why honey crystallizes.
I think by heating the honey you automatically destroy most of if not all the health benefits associated with consuming local raw honey.
