Miel Factory invites you to savor lavender honey. Harvested in the Alpes d'Haute-Provence, Plateau de Valensole, France, this honey is one of the most emblematic products of our honey heritage. It is both soft and flowery leaving one with the pronounced and decadent taste of lavender.
Lavenders shurbs are the perfect honey plant. Bees avidly fly around these violet and dark purple flowers when they appear in the summer. Found mainly in the South of France, lavender usually favors the sun and more arid lands with a limestone soil composition. Lavender honey is usually harvested in the beginning of September.
The honey’s a soft texture, with a fine grain crystallization make for a true sweet treat. Its persistent floral flavors are particularly favored in nougats.
