Gingerbread - Ruchers de Darbois

From our beehives in the heart of the Châtillon-sur-Seine forest, the flowers of the undergrowth and edges add a pleasant subtlety to the strength of the honeydew from the trees that make it up, particularly the oaks, while its liquid texture and dark color hint at its strength.

The operation, which is certified organic, is based on a farm in Buncey, where the honey house is located. It has 267 hives, all of which are located in communes belonging to the National Park, within a 25km radius of Buncey. The bees produce a range of honeys (flower, forest and lime blossom), propolis, wax and swarms. Honey infused with aromatic and medicinal plants (PAM) is also produced on the farm, as well as gingerbread and honey-based chutneys.

No eggs, butter or added sugar. Like our honey, all ingredients are locally produced, except the spices, of course. Made with our own honey, wheat and rye flours, and milk, gingerbread has a warm, traditional taste, thanks in part to cinnamon and aniseed.
