Hill Honey

Hill honey from Yaadhum is purely natural and authentic. It is sourced from the mighty western ghats in Salem. So it retains the natural flavour and taste! Hill honey is called “Malai then” in Tamil. Before the origin of kingdoms and dynasties, people lived along with nature. At those times hill honey was one of their major food sources. It is an ancient natural sweetener that is rich in anti-oxidants. 

How is hill honey extracted?

Each hill has its own tribes, the rightful owners of the land. The tribal people live in those dense forests and hills for thousands and thousands of years. Over the course of their existence, they learned many essential life traits. One of them is extracting honey from the slopes and trees of their land. It requires extreme skills and abilities only the tribes could manage. The yaadhum honey is extracted by such experts in the hills of salem!
