The honey, apparently, is pure without any additives, or processing. Has nice and real honey-like aroma and texture and tastes real good.
Only thing disliked is the packaging in PLASTIC bottle! I expect products like honey etc. to be packaged in GLASS bottles properly sealed against leaks during shipment & handling.
Apart from the plastic bottle, the honey is excellent compared to many other brands that I have tried.

Pure Kashmiri Apple Blossom Honey | Raw Orchard Honey
Light golden honey from hives placed in Kashmiri apple orchards, with a delicate fruity note behind the sweetness. Made only while the trees are in bloom — which is a short window.
Orchard Honey
From apple bloom
Fruity Note
Delicate, not heavy
Short Season
A few weeks a year
Where It Comes From
Kashmir is apple country, and the bees know it
The valley is covered in apple orchards, and for a few weeks each spring those orchards are in full bloom. Hives placed among them during that window produce a honey shaped by apple nectar rather than by wild forest flowers.
What comes out is light golden with a soft fruity character — more interesting than acacia, far gentler than a dark wild honey. It is the one most people end up eating plainly, on toast or off a spoon, rather than stirring into something.
Worth Knowing
This one genuinely runs out
"Apple trees flower for weeks, not months."
Plenty of shops describe honey as limited when it is not. With apple blossom honey it is simply a fact of the calendar: the bloom lasts a few weeks and that is the entire year's production. When a season's stock is gone, it is gone until the next spring.
Which also means a jar bought soon after the harvest tastes better than one that has sat around. Honey does not spoil — its low water content sees to that — but aroma and delicacy do fade with time, and this is a honey you buy for exactly those qualities.

Using It
Do as little to it as possible
Eat it plainly. On toast, over curd, off a spoon — this is a honey whose character is the reason to buy it.
Let hot drinks cool a moment before stirring it in. Boiling liquid flattens the fruity note.
If it sets, warm the jar in a bowl of warm water. Never microwave honey.
Always a dry spoon. Water in the jar is the one thing that will ferment honey.

Mild, fruity or strong?

Light golden with a delicate fruity note behind the sweetness — softer than forest honey, a little more characterful than acacia. Most people enjoy it eaten plainly rather than stirred into something.
Why is it seasonal?
Apple trees flower for only a few weeks in spring, so hives in the orchards produce this honey within a short window each year. When a season's stock is gone there is no more until the next bloom.
Will it crystallise?
In time, yes, at a moderate rate — normal for raw honey. Standing the jar in warm water loosens it again without harming it.
Does honey expire?
Honey keeps extraordinarily well because its low water content prevents spoilage. What does change is aroma and delicacy, which is why a fresh-season honey tastes noticeably better.
Can babies have honey?
No. Honey of any kind should not be given to infants under one year old. This is standard guidance worldwide and applies to raw honey particularly.
