The New Quay Honey Farm is quite prolific in producing multiple flavours of their “Welsh honey mead” on top of their “pure” honey mead. Today’s mead is their apricot flavour.
Afon Mêl Blackberry Mead
Another melomel from New Quay Honey Farm and this time with blackberry.
Blackberry is a fruit that pairs a bit more with savoury foods than, say, raspberry. Meat dishes such as duck would be ideal, but it’s best to avoid anything too acidic, salty or bitter. Many simple meat dishes like chicken might well pair just as nicely.
Afon Mêl Honey Mead
This is a so-called “Welsh honey mead” from the New Quay Honey Farm. They produce a variety of flavours, but this appears to be their “pure” honey mead offering.
The farm is based in Ceredigion and has been a bee-keeping farm since 1995. Today they produce honeys, meads, sweets and other products dervived from honey.
Afon Mêl Raspberry Mead
This is the raspberry offering from the New Quay Honey Farm. This makes it a melomel rather than a pure honey mead.
Raspberry is definitely a dessert fruit, so it is unlikely you would pair this with any savoury food. I have seen one article claim that a dry raspberry fruit wine might pair with turkey or cornish game hen. This is definitely a mead and not dry, but perhaps it’s worth a try around Christmas!
Cwm Deri Meddeglyn Spiced Mead
Mabinogion Mead Four Branches
This mead is strictly a cyser as it is made with Welsh apples and has a typical cider alcoholic strength of 5.5%.
