This Orange Blossom honey is fresh from the groves and this year's harvest was one of the best we've had. 

Many people falsely assume that orange blossom honey is made by combining oranges and honey; however, it is actually the flowers of the orange tree that makes this honey what it is. The unique fragrance makes it an unforgettable honey.

Orange blossom honey comes from the fragrant blossoms of the sweet orange tree. Buds begin forming in late January or early February, and the trees come into bloom in April. As it takes many months for the fruit to ripen, you can often see new blooms and ripe fruit on the tree at the same time. Orange Blossom Honey has a very agreeable and delicate aroma. This year's Orange Blossom is exceptionally light with a delicate citrus notes.

Use it to sweeten your tea or coffee. The honey is extracted straight from the hives without applying any heat - we call it Cold-extracted. Once extracted, we do not filter the honey. It is bottled into Raw form.

Why we can not sell our honey cheaper?

  1. We do not mix this honey with other cheap ingredients in order to bulk up the honey. This is pure honey. There are no additional ingredients.
