Today, we introduce two premium honeys harvested in Jirisan Mountain: Snowbell and Chestnut Honey. As the name states, the nectar is derived from the flowers of the Snowbell and Chestnut Tree. These two trees blossom for only two months - during May and June. The Jirisan bees get busy and create a limited supply of delicious honey every year, which is then masterfully extracted by beehive master Kim Il Kwon. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSo what do these honeys taste like? The honey from the Snowbell tree has a balanced sweetness - not overly sweet. It also has a slight floral note that pairs nicely with breakfast foods like cheese, greek yogurt and fruit. The chestnut honey is much darker in color - and the flavor is more robust. It isn’t as sweet as the Snowbell but has an aftertaste of chestnuts! A unique, local flavor that works beautifully with morning toast and baked goods.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNatural pure honey is filled with mineral and vitamins. But there are many large brands that “water-down” honey with artificial sweeteners like sugar to lower prices. In Korea, producers label their honey with a carbon isotope ratio score. This indicates the pureness of the honey. All-natural honey has a score that ranges low, from -23.5% ~ -33% (the lower the better).

Maesil is the Korean term for green plums (also known as Mumes in English). It has been used throughout Korean history for its health benefits - like creating a stronger digestive system, promoting heart regularity and serving as an antibacterial agent.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNowadays, it's most frequently used as a sugar substitute (or supplement) in Korean dishes. From salad dressings, meat marinades and dipping sauces, maesil adds a full-bodied sweetness with a touch of tartness. It can also be consumed straight - simply dilute the syrup with some water and a few ice cubes to make a refreshing iced tea.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSo how is it made? Sigol Won packs equal parts maesil and sugar into an air-tight jar. It's left to sit for three months as the plum slowly releases its juices. Once the syrup is ready, the fruit is removed from the liquid. Then the syrup is aged for two years to develop a deeper flavor. Afterwards, its bottled and ready for sale.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe key taste variable is the quality of the plums. Sigol Won grows its high-quality maesil at the base of Mt Jirisan - where the climate is pure, clean and undisturbed.
