Les Ruchers de Bourgogne Rosemary Honey
500 grams (17.64 oz) - France

Rosemary honey is a monofloral honey made primarily from the nectar of rosemary flowers (Rosmarinus officinalis), a fragrant herb native to the Mediterranean region. Rosemary is an evergreen herb with small, pale blue or purple flowers. Bees collect nectar from these blossoms to produce rosemary honey. Rosemary blooms abundantly in Mediterranean climates.

Rosemary honey has a delicate, mildly sweet flavor with herbal and floral undertones. The taste is subtle, with hints of rosemary’s distinctive scent but without the strong piney or camphor-like taste that fresh rosemary leaves have. This makes the honey smooth and light, with a pleasant and balanced flavor.

Lending a slightly herbaceous smell and flavor, the woodsy notes lend a nice balance to the sweeter, sugary flavors of the honey.

Our first choice mixed into a little creme fraise and spooned atop of grilled peaches.
