Eternum Ebrietas’ traditional raw mountain honey from Beira Baixa Portugal is crafted from a variety of massive autochthonous (native) mountain flowers giving it exquisite properties prized in both taste and health value.[1]
Autochthonous Mountain Flowers
The unique flora of the Beira Baixa mountains includes wild lavender (Lavandula stoechas), rosemary, heathers (Erica, Calluna vulgaris), and numerous endemic wildflowers native to the region. These flowers thrive in mountainous, minimally disturbed habitats, providing complex nectar sources that contribute to the honey’s rich profile and bioactive quality.[2][3][4]
