This faint wild note adds a complex layer to the honey, distinguishing it from more domesticated varieties and offering a sensory journey into the heart of Africa's untamed landscapes with every spoonful.
What is the significance of acacia tree?
The Acacia tree is central to the production of distinctive honey in the wild, revered for its spiritual and ecological significance. Its blossoms provide essential nectar for bees, resulting in a delightful honey that reflects the resilience and spirit of Africa. The Sweet Thorn species, in particular, offers both edible gum and nectar, showcasing the symbiotic relationship between the tree and bees.

What is the color of ãsali - acacia honey?
Kerio Valley Acacia honey, with its enchanting amber brown hue, glows like liquid gold when it catches the light. This honey's color is a visual tribute to the rich, sun-drenched plains of the African savannah from which it hails.
How do local communities benefit?
ãsali honey is sustainably harvested by indigenous tribes in the Rift Valley, who uphold environmental conservation and the sacredness of their land.
