Collectibles from Flemings books - Heather honey

As i don't want to "steal" my buddy danjaq_off's topic regarding the S.D. studios attaché case blueprints,
i thought i'd open a new topic for collectibles from Flemings books.
There where discussion about "Norwegian heather honey" as mentioned in FRWL book
and i promised to find out where to get it, what's the price etc.
Firstly, i contacted few honey suppliers in Norway to get some information regarding the
retailers as these suppliers/producers don't sell their products directly to consumers.
I found out, that there's no retailer in Finland as far as i know and i think i know the reason -
we have our own bee farms etc. which produce high quality products and similar to Norwegian
honey products.
The heather honey or "Lynghonning" as they call it in Norway is made from heathers in
similar ways in Scandinavia.
The picture, that i posted to "S.D. studios attaché case blueprint" -topic is made by a company
called Honningcentralen, however they don't sell it directly to consumer clients, but it can be bought
from a retailer chain named Coop, which operates at least in Norway. Price for 420g jar is 54,09NOK
without VAT and converted to British pounds it's £5,73.
Although this "Honningcentralen" does not sell their products directly to consumers, i made an request
in a spirit of JB and chatted with their Production-and Quality manager Hege Bjørnbakk asking if they could make an exception and so on. She hasn't responded to my request yet, but i will let you guys know, when i get something solid.

Also i would like to apologize this subject from all of you, who think that this has nothing to do with JB memorabilia etc.
I find it fascinating to do a research regarding items, prop parts etc related to JB and Fleming. :007)

Yes, but it has to be "Norwegian" heather honey. That's what Bond used in the novels. Scottish or any other heather honey simply won't do.

Tracking honeys can sometimes be quite difficult
