Judges from the UK Guild of Fine Food who awarded this honey a Two-Star Great Taste Award described it:

Read on for more details about the origin, taste, and uses of this honey.

origin

The first oranges were brought to Mexico by Spanish settlers in the 16th century. Today, the tropical state of Veracruz on the Atlantic coast of Mexico produces over half of all Mexico's oranges.

This honey is produced from bees feeding on the organic orange plantations of Veracruz, Mexico.

The orange tree (scientific name Citrus sinensis) is an evergreen flowering tree which grows to a height of 9-10m. It has oval leaves 4-10cm long.

Orange blossom honey with a pollen count of 40% is considered exceptional. This honey comes from the best orange blossom honey crop in Mexico since 2008. It has a pollen count of an incredible 57%!

taste

Tasting notes: Citrus, fruity with a rich orange flavour
Texture: Set with fine crystals
Aroma: Aromatic, of soft citrus
Sweetness: light

This honey tastes delicious straight from the spoon, over toast or porridge, or with good quality yoghurt, fresh cream, or ice cream. It can be used in cooking just like orange blossom water, or where a citrus aroma is required.

uses

In accordance with EU directive 1924/2006, we are unable to make any health claims about any of our honeys. The information given below is either background information about the plants from which our honey comes, or anecdotal based on customer reviews. It should not be inferred from the plant properties that this honey automatically possesses the same qualities or provides the same benefits as the plant.

This honey has a laboratory certified antibacterial Total Activity rating of 10. This means that it is equal to a 10% antibacterial solution.

It can be consumed like any other honey or applied on the skin in small amounts.

A 2011 study by the University of Queretaro, Mexico, studied the antioxidant and antibacterial properties of 14 different Mexican honeys. It found that:

Orange blossom honey had the highest phenolic (antioxidant) capacity of all 14 honeys.
When tested against food poisoning bacteria strains Listeria, Straph A, and Salmonella, orange blossom honey was found to be the most effective among the 14 honeys tested.
Oranges also contain bergapten, which promotes colour and pigmentation in the skin to avoid it becoming damaged by sunlight.

This honey can be used like ordinary honey but is best taken as a teaspoon of this honey mixed into a glass of cool or warm (not hot) water and drunk three times a day on an empty stomach.

Lovely honey with a floral and orange taste!

Bought a crate of this in the black Friday sale - I love that it has a floral taste with a very slight sweetness, plus TA10! I was feeling unwell with a sore throat and runny nose but I took this in warm water throughout the day and my symptoms were gone the next morning. Will definitely be sad when this is discontinued!
