BEHONEY Miel Cruda de Lavanda

Raw lavender honey is the favorite of many due to its pleasant warm, delicate and persistent flavor.

It's a pure honey from the flowers of a very light and pleasant herb, leaving a warm flavor. Bees obtain it from lavender bushes. Unlike tree sap honey, which is often dark and strong-tasting, lavender honey is milder and lighter.

The lavender plant is a perennial herbaceous shrub, also known as lavandula angustifolia. It tends to be short-lived and has many varieties within its genus. The plant is used as an essential oil in aromatherapy.

Characteristics of the plants from which raw lavender honey is obtained

The lavender plant is made up of around sixty species (lavender, lavender, and cantueso, among others), making it a plant that is endemic to the European Mediterranean region, where it is often seen growing wild. It is cultivated both for its medicinal properties and for its ornamental and aromatic value in gardens.
 
The main constituent of lavender is linalool, present in its free state, 30% to 40%, and in the form of compounds containing acetic, butyl, valeric, and caproic acids. The presence of linolene, alpha-pinene, caryophyllene, geraniol, nerol, and cinnamyl esters is also found in small amounts. This means that it has an abundance of esters and a lack of camphol. Due to all its compounds, the plant is attributed with relaxing, calming, and digestive-supporting properties.

What is raw lavender honey

Raw honey is different from processed honey, raw honey means that the honey is packed from the hive to the jar with minimal interference.

Most industrial honey is highly processed so that it always looks the same and attractive, as a consequence of these processes and pasteurization carried out by many producers, enzymes, pollens and most of the properties of honey are lost. The raw honey that we harvest varies subtly in some of its nuances such as the color from one batch to another, so you will be able to perceive some variations from one season to another, due to rains, temperatures during flowering.

Keep in mind that raw honey crystallizes and this is a natural process that occurs mainly due to the natural glucose in raw honey.

 

Uses of raw lavender honey

Among the common uses of lavender honey, it is highly valued in gastronomy for baking meats, breads, salad dressings, infusions, and pastas.

Pure lavender honey is harvested at the end of May along the mountains and mountains of the province of Toledo, Spain.

CRYSTALLIZATION

The crystallization process is something natural in raw honey, it is a process by which the honey hardens. You can consume it perfectly in this state, but if you want to reverse this state, simply place it in a water bath for a few minutes, trying not to exceed 40º.
