- Recipe
Miel factory invites you to savor almond honey. Harvested in the Province of Alicante, in Spain, this honey has both a supple texture and a sweet taste. Its delicacy echoes the finesse of almond.
The end of winter, between the months of February and March, mark the moment when the almond tree blooms. This honey is harvested twice: both in May and June for the fresh and green almond and in September for a dryer almond.
While the United States is the largest producer of almonds in the world, many almond trees also bloom in the South of France, in Corsica and in the Garonne. This honey is the perfect treat to sweeten infusions and teas or even bring delicate honey notes to a beautiful meal.
Trivial but fascinating fact: A complex organization is set up each year to ensure the pollination of Californian almond trees. In February, billions of bees are sent on the road, traveling from the east to the West coast by truck in order to insure the pollination of the California almond orchards. Unlike other tree species, the pollination of the almond tree needs the bees to occur. Contrary to other species of trees which flourish naturally thanks to the wind carrying their pollen, bees are essential to almond tree pollination.
