Fir Honey - 250g

Our fir honey stands out for its distinctive flavor and deeply woody aroma. Each drop transports you to the heart of the forest and its taste is both sweet and intense, with slightly resinous notes and delicate nuances of menthol. This vintage is harvested in the heart of the Monts d’Ardèche Natural Park. The main difference between fir honey and classic honey lies in their nectar source. Most “classic” honeys are produced by bees that gather nectar from flowers. On the other hand, fir honey, also known as "fir honeydew", is produced from honeydew secreted by aphids. Aphids feed on the sap of trees, especially fir trees, and excrete a sugary substance called honeydew. Bees, attracted by this sweet substance, collect it and transform it into fir honey in the hive. The harvest period for fir honey in Ardèche is generally between the months of July and October.
