Naturally Med Honey Dipper

I picked up recently on the fact - and it is a fact - that honey tastes better when spooned out on wood, rather than metal. We had long since lost our wooden honey spoon but have a user friendly (if not honey friendly) metal pouring spoon. I ordered this as a treat for my honey loving mum, who's terminally ill, has lost her appetite but still loves a dollop of honey. It makes even the medicine go down ... Initially, because being so ill makes her fractious at times, she got quite stroppy and said "you're telling me how to spoon honey now" (oh, dear, said Piglet) but seeing it in action changed her mood and mind. It simply rolls up and off the honey goes. And it's beautiful olive wood. The ridges make it harder to clean than a metal spoon but it's worth the extra effort - and be sure to apply some olive oil to it to keep the wood in tip top condition. My only slight criticism is the ubiquitous sticky label on the back of the details - it seems manufacturers and bar codes must always obscure the actual details about the product and how to care for it. And , unless you use a specialist adhesive remover (such as the small wipes for sticky plaster residual yack) it won't come off cleanly which kind of spoilt the nice background information supplied. Handle it with more care and respect, and it's a lovely gift, tactile too, for a honey lover who may value such things more than my poor ailing mum does.

Looks like a lovely gift

Well it is made from olive wood. Just as I expected, nice quality. It is recommended to massage oil on them every few months, to avoid destruction over time!

Lovely product, quick delivery with good packaging as product is quite fragile. The only disappointment is the actual handle and head of the honey dipper are obviously made from two different pieces of wood and have been glued together adding to the fragility of the product.

My husband is a bee keeper so bought this along with honey jar as a novelty gift for a birthday present. He'll love it 😊

GOOD

Nice little item

Good quality wood but sadly handle too thick for my honey pot hole.
