orange

The orange blossom honey is light in color, ranging from pale straw yellow to pearly white, to light beige.
On the nose, it releases fragrances of zagara, accompanied by notes of honeysuckle, hawthorn, and yellow melon; on the palate, it is pleasantly sweet, with floral hints that can evolve into light fruity notes inviting continuous tasting. Over time, the taste becomes more fruity with a slight acidity.
The substance responsible for the zagara scent characterizing the Orange blossom honey is methyl anthranilate, and its concentration varies depending on the area of origin.

The result is a honey that offers delicate fruity notes wrapped in the citrus scent of zagara flowers.

Orange blossom honey is well-suited for pastries, from wheat pastiera to fried pastries, and even citrus compotes. It replaces glucose in candied fruit preparation and enhances delicate marinades for raw fish and spring vegetable and flower omelets. It can be emulsified with extra virgin olive oil and lemon to enrich salads and crudités.
