Characteristics of orange blossom honey
Orange blossom honey or orange tree honey is made by bees mainly from the nectar of orange tree flowers. It is a very smooth and aromatic honey, with a high citrus component that gives it great character.
When freshly extracted, this honey is light amber in color, although as it crystallizes, its color lightens until it becomes a yellowish white. Its aroma is smooth and distinctive, with an acidic aftertaste that provides balance.
Properties of orange blossom honey
Orange blossom honey has multiple unique properties that set it apart from other honeys. Specifically, it is rich in methyl anthranilate, a unique component of orange blossom that gives the honey its distinctive flavor and aroma.
In addition, orange blossom honey is a great source of energy, as it is rich in minerals such as potassium, fructose and glucose, which often make it a natural substitute for sugar.
