Its origin in the Provençal mountains gives it international renown, making this honey a preferred choice for connoisseurs of natural and refined products.

TECHNICAL INFORMATION

Texture: Obtained by churning, the honey does not crystallize and always maintains its creamy and smooth consistency, making it easy to spread.

Color: Light and golden yellow upon harvest, it whitens under the effect of churning and crystallization.

Taste: Flavorful, the honey is characterized by its delicacy, its pleasant lingering taste, and its floral notes, very slightly tangy with a subtle almond flavor at the finish.

Aroma: Subtle, delicate, and fruity aromas, with a more intense and complex fragrance than traditional lavender honey.

Storage: From a food safety perspective, a jar of lavender honey can be stored for two years, but for honey to retain all its properties, it must be protected from UV radiation, humidity, and heat.

Health: Like all honeys, fine lavender honey from Provence possesses beneficial health properties. It is particularly often valued for its soothing and relaxing properties, making it an ideal choice to help relieve stress and promote sleep.
