Forest Honey (honeydew honey) gets its name from its unique origin. Unlike floral honeys, it does not come directly from flower nectar, but from secretions and plant substances from acorns, oak, and holm oak, collected by bees during the summer in the Pre-Pyrenees and inland forests of the Iberian Peninsula.
Sensory Characteristics:
-
Color: Dark, almost black.
-
Aroma: Intense and powerful, with toasted nuances.
-
Flavor: Deep, sweet, and accompanied by clear salty notes that give it a unique profile.
Texture and Crystallization: This honey is very rich in mineral salts and enzymes, with a high presence of fructose. Thanks to this, its texture is very fluid and it rarely crystallizes, maintaining its liquid state for longer.
Culinary Uses: Its intense flavor and salty notes make it perfect for pairing with meats, aged and fresh cheeses, and vinaigrettes, providing an exceptional contrast to your dishes.
