Gourmet Exploration: The Honey of the Alpilles
Honeys Jarred in the Alpilles
Introduction
Welcome to a sensory journey to the heart of the Alpilles, where bees unveil the sweet treasures of the region through their delicious honeys. Discover the secrets and unique flavors of these extraordinary nectars, harvested with passion.
Alpilles Honeys: A Natural Overview
Honey is more than just a sweet treat. It is a commodity produced by honeybees from flower nectar, and each jar tells a unique story of the Provençal nature. The honey flow, the moment when flowers produce the most nectar, guides our annual transhumance to offer exceptional monofloral and multifloral honeys.
Natural Nutritional Riches
Alpilles honey is naturally rich in essential trace elements such as calcium, selenium, magnesium, and barium. Its nutritional diversity varies according to the plant species foraged by bees, offering a range of benefits for our biological balance.
Natural Crystallization: A Fascinating Phenomenon
Honeys that crystallize quickly reveal a "blossom" on the surface, composed of micro-bubbles, a natural phenomenon attesting to the quality of the product. Don't worry, this crystallization does not alter the quality of the honey. On the contrary, it often enhances its sensory characteristics.
