Margou Mel
The treasure of the Serra da Arada. Pure heather honey, harvested by hand in the untouched landscapes of the Magic Mountains.
A family heritage
The authentic taste of nature
Rich, aromatic and of exceptional quality, Margou Mel keeps all the natural properties that make it so special. Every jar tells a story of dedication and respect for nature.
Like everything at Margou, the honey is inspired by Maria’s family: her father also produced honey in Gourim in the 1960s and 70s. Bringing this tradition back to life is a way of recovering and honouring the ancestors of this magical place.
Sustainably produced and packed by Casa Margou, in the municipality of São Pedro do Sul.
“It’s not just honey.
It’s the essence of the Serra da Arada.”
