Forty-Herb Honey

Forty-Herb Honey

Chehel giah, literally forty herbs, is Iran's classic multifloral honey. Bees forage freely over mountain pastures covered in dozens of wild flowers and herbs, and the result is a balanced, golden honey with a mild, rounded taste that suits the whole family.

Mojtahedi sources forty-herb honey from trusted beekeepers in the highlands and sells it pure and unheated. Because it combines many plants it is the most versatile honey in the range and the usual choice for daily use.

Spread it on bread with butter or cream for a Persian breakfast, sweeten tea and herbal infusions, or use it in baking and dressings.
