It has a subtle and delicate orange flavor and a touch of herbal flora

This is a pure citrus blossom honey with a very pleasant taste, it is soft and has a gentle touch of orange. It comes from bees that feed on the flowers of Mediterranean orange and lemon trees, flowering begins in late March and ends in early May, unlike tree honey which comes from the sap, these varieties of blossom honey are much lighter in flavour and colour and tend to crystallise faster due to the higher glucose levels.

This particular pure honey is light yellow in colour

This variety of orange blossom honey is harvested at the end of April and beginning of May in the Region of Murcia and the Valencian Community.

Raw honey is different from processed honey, raw honey means that the honey is packaged from the hive to the jar with minimal interference. Most industrial honey is highly processed so that it always looks the same and attractive, as a result of these processes and pasteurisation that many producers carry out, enzymes, pollens and most of the properties of raw honey are lost.

Raw honey is a very different type of honey

The raw honey that we harvest varies subtly in some of its nuances such as color from one batch to another, so you can perceive some variations from one season to another, due to rainfall, temperatures during flowering

Please note that raw orange blossom honey crystallizes and this is a natural process that occurs mainly due to the natural glucose in raw honey

CRYSTALLIZATION

The crystallization process is something natural in raw honey, it is a process by which honey hardens. You can consume it perfectly in that state, but if you want to reverse this state, simply place it in a bain-marie for a few minutes, trying not to exceed 40 º
