The lemon tree honey is a rare gem, with a delicately fruity scent and soothing virtues. Derived from the flowering of lemon trees in spring, mainly in Mediterranean regions, this monofloral honey captivates with its sweetness, freshness, and floral aromas typical of citrus. At Miel Factory, we invite you to discover this exceptional honey, as rare as it is delicious.
Where does lemon tree honey come from?
The lemon tree (Citrus limon) is an iconic fruit tree of the Mediterranean basin, mainly cultivated in:
- Spain (Andalusia, Murcia),
- Italy (Sicily),
- Tunisia or Morocco,
- And more rarely in the south of France.
It blooms generously in spring, sometimes several times a year in warm climates, offering bees a fragrant and very rich nectar. When climatic conditions are optimal and there are few competing flowers, beekeepers can harvest a 100% lemon tree honey.
How to recognize lemon tree honey?
Lemon tree honey stands out for its unique sensory qualities:
- Color: light to pale yellow, sometimes pearly,
- Texture: creamy and fine, sometimes slightly crystallized,
- Taste: sweet, fruity, slightly tangy with notes of lemon tree bark or flower,
- Scent: floral and fresh, with a characteristic citrus fragrance.
It is a honey that evokes spring and citrus gardens — a light and sunny sensory experience.
