Fragrant lemon-blossom honey from Spain's Mediterranean coast | 910 g jar

Our lemon-blossom honey (miel de limonero) comes from Mediterranean lemon groves on Spain's coast. When the trees are in blossom, the bees gather a nectar with a fresh, citrus-floral fragrance. In the jar it appears pale straw-yellow and clear, on the palate delicately sweet with a light, fresh citrus note and a clean finish – ideal if you want honey to be light and fragrant rather than heavy.

In the kitchen it goes wonderfully with yoghurt & fruit, cream cheese, almond cake and light dressings (e.g. lemon–olive oil–pepper). In tea or lemonade, please stir in lukewarm so the fine blossom aromas are preserved.

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.
