Spanish lavender honey – barrel of 7kgs

Description

It is produced in the sun-drenched fields of La Alcarria and the Spanish interior, where bees gather nectar from the purest lavender (Lavandula stoechas) in Spain. This gem of Spanish beekeeping is distinguished by its pale amber colour, a deliciously creamy texture and an intensely floral aroma.

• Colour: Very light amber, turning white or cream when crystallised.
• Aroma: Floral, extraordinarily intense, with the characteristic scent of lavender fields.
• Flavour: Sweet, delicate and lingering, with subtle acidic and woody notes on the finish.
• Crystallisation: Medium-high. It crystallises into a very fine, grainy texture that is creamy on the palate.

• Powerful natural sedative: Promotes relaxation of the nervous system. It is ideal for sweetening herbal teas before bed and combating insomnia.
• Respiratory relief: Acts as an effective remedy for coughs, sore throats, bronchitis and cold symptoms.
• Antiseptic and antibacterial action: Helps to curb infections. Traditionally used topically to speed up the healing of minor burns, wounds and insect bites.
• High antioxidant content: Its polyphenol content helps neutralise free radicals and prevent cellular ageing.
• Digestive and gentle: Relieves heavy digestion, protects the stomach lining and reduces acidity thanks to its natural enzymes.
