Alemany: The Best Honey Since 1879
Turrones y Miel Alemany
Honey is one of the oldest foods in the world, with a multitude of properties that doctors in Ancient Egypt already used to treat illnesses. We're talking about a product we adore at MadeinSpain.store, and we introduce the history and variety of Turrones y Miel Alemany, a family business ready to sweeten your everyday life.
Honey to Sweeten Life
It may be the mix of its flavor, aroma and texture, but there's no way to talk about honey without putting our cards on the table from the start and saying it's a food we love. We're sweet-toothed, but above all honest! At MadeinSpain.store we pride ourselves on backing the best Spanish products — those that excite when they arrive at home and make difficult days easier, especially in these months of so much uncertainty around the globe. If Only the best has always been our motto, today we want to tell you about a brand that makes that excellence its own banner.
The story of Turrones y Miel Alemany takes us back to the late 19th century, a time when in the town of Os de Balaguer, located in the province of Lérida, everyone knew Mrs. Mundeta, a woman who sweetened the neighbors' days with her famous candies made from local honey and nuts. Beneath the watchful gaze of Montsec and its beautiful sky, the story of Torrons i Mel Alemany was born — a family business that for five generations has been making outrageously good artisanal turrón and honey involving the best beekeepers from across the country. In rough, challenging terrain for cultivation, beekeeping became a genuine salvation for this company.
Spain, Europe's Top Honey Producer
Ahead of other leading countries in the sector, such as France, Greece and Italy, Spain is the top honey-producing country in Europe, with approximately 16% of the total production of this product, having increased its production in the last decade by up to 20%. These figures, taken from the economic indicators of the beekeeping sector at the Ministry of Agriculture, confirm that Spanish honey is booming and very popular. Each year more than 24,000 tons are exported, with more than half of that production going to France (35%) and Germany (20%).
They say that Alemany's classic recipe, which gives the paste of their turrones a characteristic white color, is what sets them apart, combined with an indispensable ingredient: their exquisite rosemary honey. The success and recognition of their products is evidenced by the constant awards (they've already won 11) at the Great Taste Awards, considered the Oscars of the gourmet food sector, which are presented each year in the United Kingdom after a blind tasting by a jury made up of world-renowned culinary experts.

Turrones y Miel Alemany's Offerings
Keep an eye on Alemany's rosemary honey, subtly perfumed and blessed with a mild flavor that will enchant the traditionalists, along with other options like honey with pollen, royal jelly and propolis, a genuine natural energy boost that will strengthen your health while you enjoy a premium product.

Those who want to go a step further can opt to create a pack with their gourmet honeys: orange blossom with orange peel (ideal for salads or vinaigrettes, baked white fish and meat stews); hazelnut cream (designed to complement dairy and desserts); and ginger (great for sweetening and flavoring teas, cold drinks and fruit and vegetable smoothies). We certainly couldn't decide which to choose…
Honey as a Synonym for Health
Beyond its delicate flavor, honey has become highly valued for its health benefits, so its regular consumption is highly recommended. This treasure made by bees can boast important antioxidant properties, helping to cleanse the body of toxins while its antibacterial properties improve the condition of the skin. Its amino acids support tissue repair, and melatonin can help you sleep better.
Did you know that honey can help you control excess cholesterol? Well, now you've learned something new! This happens thanks to the effect its consumption has on the level of antioxidant compounds. Strengthening the heart, improved memory, its antiseptic properties (a tablespoon a day on an empty stomach can help a lot if you have digestive problems) and its ability to calm nerves thanks to glucose are also key benefits.
Consuming honey is giving yourself an extra touch of sweetness and health, provided, of course, you choose pure, quality honeys like we do at MadeinSpain.store, where we know how important it is to leave adulterated products behind and opt for a 100% natural diet.
