Premium honey brand Haughton Honey, based in Cheshire, has launched a new top-quality honey containing CBD.
Haughton Honey infused with CBD is made with pure, natural raw honey from the rich fields and ancient oak woodlands of south Cheshire, the Shropshire border and beyond.
It contains high quality CBD that is grown in Britain under tightly controlled conditions, making the product one of the tastiest ways to take a daily dose of CBD.
Extracted from the hemp plant Cannabis sativa, CBDs (cannabidiols) can be taken as an oral spray, as drops of oil or via a growing number of foods and drinks.
CBD has been tipped as a top ingredient trend for 2020.
Haughton Honey’s Crispin Reeves said: “We have taken our delicious, high-quality honey and added carefully sourced vegetarian-friendly CBD to create something special.
“CBD usually comes in spray or dropper form but we are confident most people would prefer a spoonful of our delicious CBD-infused honey on their toast or stirred into their porridge each morning.
“Research around the world continues into the potential for CBD and how it could help a range of conditions including aches and pains from exercise, menstrual and menopausal problems, anxiety, depression and epileptic seizures.
“The CBD we are using retains its natural terpenes – compounds that give many plants, such as lavender, pine trees and citrus plants, their distinctive scents.
“Our CBD is known as full-spectrum CBD as it has a full cannabinoid and terpene profile that mirrors the hemp plant source.”
Haughton Honey has been selling high-quality, exceptional honey from its farm in Cheshire since 2014.
Haughton Honey infused with CBD sells in a full-size 340 gram jar, priced at £29.95. It contains 0.25% CBD, which is at the top end of the scale set by American and Canadian CBD honeys.
The CBD itself is tasteless and odourless so does not affect the quality and flavour of the original raw honey, which is the purest natural honey available.
“What you will taste is the sheer delight of our pure honey, but with all the health benefits of CBD,” said Crispin.
The 340g jar of Haughton Honey infused with CBD retails at £29.95 per jar.
