Wild Forest Honey – Mat Ong Rung Cat Ba

Wild forest honey from Cat Ba, known as mat ong rung, is collected by local foragers from wild beehives hidden deep within the island’s forest. Unlike commercial honey, this natural product is darker, thicker, and richer in taste, often containing pollen and essential enzymes.

It is widely used as both food and medicine — added to teas, used in marinades, or consumed directly to treat sore throats and boost the immune system. Locals take pride in the sustainable harvesting practices that protect both the bees and the forest ecosystem.

Bringing home a bottle of Cat Ba wild honey means taking a piece of the island’s natural purity and traditional knowledge with you.
