Fragrant lavender honey from the Spanish highlands | 910g jar

Fragrant lavender honey from Spain's high plateau | 910 g jar

Our lavender honey is created on the Spanish meseta, the Castilian high plateau with wide fields, warm summer air and cool nights. When the lavender is in full bloom during the summer flow, the bees gather a nectar that smells floral, herb-fresh and finely balsamic – pale straw-yellow to delicately light amber in the jar, with a clear, harmonious line.

On the palate it shows cool floral notes and a subtle herb freshness that fades elegantly into a long, clean finish. The fine-grained crystallisation gives it a creamy melt and a smooth, spreadable texture – ideal if you are looking for sweetness with character rather than mere sweetening power. Perfect with goat's & cream cheese, yoghurt with berries or peach, in lemon vinaigrettes or as a fine accent on dark bread with salted butter. In tea or homemade lemonade, stir in lukewarm to preserve the aroma & varietal depth.

All honeys at auteniQ come from a single family business: Apícola Cuartero in Fuendejalón at the foot of the Moncayo (Aragón). What Juan Cruz began in 1981 as a small apiary is now run by the third generation – the honeys bear his name: Miel del Tío Juan Cruz. Around 3,000 bee colonies migrate each year, following old tradition, to the respective flowering regions of Spain, from mountain heaths to the orange groves of the Levante. No pesticides around the hives. Bottled single-variety, with no blending of outside product. Each vintage therefore tastes different – weather and flowering time shape every harvest individually.

Note on crystallisation: Pure honey crystallises naturally depending on variety and temperature. If needed, gently liquefy in a water bath at low temperature.
