Source Plant & Botanical Notes

• Botanical name: Medicago sativa (commonly called alfalfa or lucerne).

• Growth habit: A deep-rooted perennial legume, not a tree, that grows 1–3 ft tall in open fields.

• Blossom: Fragrant racemes of petite violet-to-lilac flowers open mid-summer, providing abundant, nectar-rich blooms that honey bees can’t resist. Each blossom contributes the subtle herbal sweetness that defines premium Alfalfa Honey.

Color

White with a soft, opalescent glow that speaks to its purity and minimal processing.

Aroma & Flavor

Clean, delicately sweet, with light floral and herbal undertones and the faintest hint of fresh-cut hay. Smooth, balanced, never overpowering—perfect when you want honey to complement, not dominate.

Texture & Crystallization

A naturally high fructose-to-glucose (F/G) ratio keeps this honey pourable far longer than most light honeys. It eventually sets into a fine, creamy grain, making it effortless to spread, whip, or drizzle.

Culinary Pairings

• Swirl into chamomile, matcha, or cold-brew coffee.

• Brush over fresh-baked sourdough or warm biscuits.

• Fold into Greek yogurt, chèvre, or triple-cream Brie.

• Brighten vinaigrettes and glaze roasted vegetables without masking other flavors.

Why Choose Alfalfa Honey?

For chefs and honey lovers who appreciate finesse, Alfalfa Honey delivers nuanced complexity without excessive sweetness. Its mild character lets other ingredients shine while adding a whisper of floral elegance.

Raw & Unfiltered Commitment

Every batch is extracted at hive temperature—never heated above 95 °F—and left unfiltered, preserving naturally occurring enzymes, pollens, and antioxidants. Nothing added, nothing taken away.
