"Mélilogie" of Fir honey

• Origin : France - Honey harvested by an independent beekeeper in the Jura forests (39), between lakes and valleys.

A little culture

Rather rare in France, fir honey is most often harvested in restricted areas such as Jura, Alsace, Vosges, Auvergne which are the main producers of our country. In addition to this geographical restriction, there is also an irregular occurance of honeydew and with varying duration: sometimes for weeks, sometimes only for a few days. Depending on the year, the yield from harvesting the same beehives can therefore be either very abundant or non-existent making this honey an opportunity not to be missed for its growing number of lovers! Composed mainly of fir and spruce, the Jurassic forests cover more than half of the department. In addition to sustainable forestry, which allows sustainable wood management, this abundance of wood is due to exceptional rainfall. The annual cumulative rainfall ranges from 1m to 1.5m making the Jura one of the most watered departments in France.
