"Mélologie" of Lavender Honey

Aroma

Fresh and tangy to begin with, eventually the honey brings a note of cooked fruits.

Texture

Almost solid with a fine crystallisation, it looks like a malleable icing.

Origin

France - Harvested by a Beekeeper in the Drôme department.

A little culture

The famous Montélimar nougats, much appreciated by young  and old alike, are traditionally made from Lavender honey (which includes several varieties).

Mediterranean plants par excellence, Lavander plants were for a long time the exclusive property of Provence (whose honey now benefits from a label PGI*for beekeepers who wish to enter this quality process). In recent years, the Lavender culture has also been exported to some Eastern countries and even colder countries such as Canada, thanks to the use of adapted plants.(*PGI: protected geographical indication).
