Description

Lavender Honey is a type of monofloral honey obtained primarily from the nectar of lavender flowers. Its color usually ranges from light amber to golden, and it is notable for its delicate and floral aroma, with a mild and slightly sweet flavor that adds a distinctive touch to various culinary preparations.

Originating from Mediterranean regions such as Spain and France, where lavender grows wild in fields and hills, this honey is valued both for its organoleptic qualities and its nutraceutical properties. Lavender honey is rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals, in addition to possessing antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties.

In gastronomy, lavender honey is especially used to sweeten desserts, infusions, yogurts, salad dressings, and cheese dishes, providing a floral aroma that enhances flavors without being overly sweet.

In different Latin American countries, lavender honey may be known simply as lavender flower honey or aromatic lavender honey, although the term "lavender honey" is generally understood in most regions.
