Belvoir Farm

At Belvoir Farm, elderflower sets the calendar. Across organic Leicestershire plantations and surrounding hedgerows, local pickers gather creamy, pollen-heavy umbels only when late-spring warmth opens them. Each harvest is weighed, checked and moved quickly, preserving the brief Vale of Belvoir moment when blossom, scent and timing are exactly right together.

Elderflower harvest: May 20–late June

Organic Elderflower Cordial

Organic Elderflower Cordial turns late-spring elderflower into a precise summer serve. Dilute it one-to-ten with chilled still or sparkling water, pour over ice, or use it as a spritz base when floral, citrus and grassy elderflower notes should stay clear rather than syrupy.

ProvenanceiPollen-heavy umbels signal peak elderflower; weighing protects verified field origin.PreservationiFresh flowers fade fast; twenty-four-hour infusion captures volatile floral compounds.PreparationiDilute one-to-ten cold; lemon sharpens elderflower without masking it cleanly.PalateiExpect rose-oxide florals, citrus lift, grassy freshness, and restrained sweetness.PerformanceiUse as spritz backbone; concentrated cordial keeps garden-table service precise.
