Duerr’s has launched Ulmo Active 10+ in the UK; a new Chilean “super honey”, which is clinically proven to kill the bacteria that is associated with coughs and sore throats.

Ulmo honey is antimicrobial, meaning that it encompasses antibacterial properties (a renowned health benefit of Manuka honey) – and also fights virus and fungi. Ulmo honey will be in stores at an RRP of just £5.99 this month.

This smooth creamy honey is caramel in colour with a distinctive aroma of aniseed, jasmine and cloves.  The delicate flavour makes it a delicious every-day honey ideal for all the family, from spreading on toast to stirring into a steaming bowl of porridge.

Duerr’s Ulmo Active 10+ Honey is collected at the family owned Rio San Pedro estate in the rainforests of Southern Chile from the beautiful native Ulmo tree. Ulmo nectar has been demonstrated in international medical and clinical trials to be effective against the Streptococcus bacteria that are associated with coughs and sore throats.

The estate is owned and run by an English couple, Ian and Maggy Staples, who settled in Chile after falling in love with it while sailing in South America.  They have since been working with local honey producers to establish an organic honey farm.

Richard Duerr of Duerr’s comments: “Honey has always been known for its medicinal properties and our Active 10+ honey is proven to be both good for you and delicious. By only sourcing our active honey from the Rio San Pedro estate, we know that the taste and health benefits will remain consistent and at an affordable price.”

Duerr’s Ulmo Honey, Active 10 + from the Rio San Pedro estate is available from Duerr’s at Sainsbury’s at £5.99 per 340g jar.
