In Mexico’s high-altitude valleys, Helianthus annuus thrives under warm days and cool nights. Bees turn its nectar into Extra Light Amber honey—radiant pale gold with a naturally creamy opacity. Lighter than standard ambers yet richer than white grades, it lends sunlit warmth and subtle flavor to bulk recipes and beverage bases.
Gentle seed-floral flavor & buttery crystallization
Aroma hints of wildflowers, warm grain and dried herbs. Flavor unfolds with toasted sunflower-seed sweetness, a touch of vanilla and soft pollen honey-notes, finishing clean with no sharp edges. Sunflower honey crystallizes rapidly, forming fine micro-granules that create a butter-smooth texture—ideal for creamed or whipped formats and direct table use.
Pure, Raw & Unfiltered integrity
Frames are harvested at mid-summer peak, spun at ambient temperature and gravity-strained only—no pasteurization, no ultrafiltration. Live enzymes, pollen and delicate flavor volatiles remain intact, delivering a clean-label ingredient that stays true to its highland origin.
