Kyrgyz Honey is a reflection of long-standing practices of organic honey production. It is sourced from sainfoin (or esparcet) fields in the mountains of Issyk-Kul, one of the largest alpine lakes in the world.
Sainfoin honey has been a Kyrgyz staple for centuries. What separates it from other types of honey is its story of an underdog. Local farmers underestimated key qualities of sainfoin nectar and mixed it in water to feed horses. It helped improve their stamina as it related to hunting and looking over other livestock.
