Harvested from the hidden blossoms inside Ficus carica fruit, Fig Honey is among the rarest single-florals. Bees slip through tiny openings in the fig’s inverted flowers to gather nectar dense in minerals and antioxidants. The result is a Dark Amber honey (>120 mm Pfund) whose mahogany glow signals elevated nutrition and bold flavor.
Robust flavor & velvety crystallization
Expect layered notes of dried fig, toasted nuts, molasses and warm spice. A high fructose-to-glucose ratio keeps the honey fluid for months; when it finally sets, it forms fine, creamy crystals that whip or spread like ganache—never gritty, always indulgent.
Pure, Raw & Unfiltered integrity
Frames are collected at peak ripeness and gravity-strained only—no pasteurization, no ultrafine filters. Live enzymes, pollen and polyphenols stay intact, giving formulators a clean-label ingredient loaded with natural antioxidants and minerals.
