Fragrant lavender honey from the Spanish highlands | 910g jar

Fragrant lavender honey from the Spanish highlands | 910g jar

Our lavender honey originates on the Spanish Meseta, the Castilian plateau with its vast fields, warm summer air, and cool nights. When the lavender is in full bloom during the summer harvest, the bees collect nectar that smells floral, herbaceous, and delicately balsamic – ranging in color from light straw yellow to a soft amber in the jar, with a clear, harmonious character.

On the palate, it reveals cool, floral notes and a subtle herbal freshness that lingers elegantly in a long, clean finish. The fine-grained crystallization ensures a creamy melt and a spreadable texture – ideal if you're looking for sweetness with character rather than mere sweetness. Perfect with goat's and fresh cheese, yogurt with berries or peaches, in lemon vinaigrettes, or as a delicate accent to dark bread with salted butter. For tea or homemade lemonade, stir in lukewarm to preserve the aroma and complexity of the flavor.

Located between the Ebro Valley and the foothills of the Moncayo Mountains (Aragón), this family-run beekeeping operation manages approximately 3,000 bee colonies at select locations in Spain. Thanks to migratory beekeeping, the colonies follow natural nectar flows – including orange blossom, rosemary, and thyme in Aragón, lavender in summer locations, and heather in higher regions. The apiary sites are chosen far from intensive agriculture, ensuring bee-friendly, natural environments.
In processing, Tío Juan Cruz relies on traditional steps adapted to modern, gentle techniques: uncapping, extracting, filtering, and maturing, followed by bottling – this preserves the varietal character and aroma. The result: a clear, typical honey with a delicate aroma and transparent origin.

Note on crystallization: Pure honey crystallizes naturally depending on the variety and temperature. If necessary, gently liquefy it in a water bath at a low temperature.
