Orange Blossom Honey (Extra White)
Crystal-clear citrus nectar, harvested just once a year
1. Spring in a jar
Each late-March, Mexico’s orange groves burst into a snowy haze of blossoms that lasts barely three weeks. Our beekeepers roll their hives in on day one, let the bees drink nothing but orange-flower nectar, then spin the frames the moment the last petals fall. The honey is gravity-strained and bottled RAW & Unfiltered, so what you taste is exactly what was inside the comb—pure blossom, untouched by heat or heavy filtration.
2. Look, smell, taste
-
Color: almost transparent—just a whisper of straw-gold that catches the light.
-
Aroma: fresh orange blossom, a hint of honeysuckle, flash of green citrus peel.
-
Flavor: gentle floral citrus up front, clean sweetness through the finish—no lingering heaviness.
-
Texture: light and quick-flowing, yet unmistakably honey.
3. From grove to barrel
-
Short bloom (late Mar → late Jun): hives sit on the orchard edge; bees work a sea of Citrus sinensis flowers within roughly 3 km.
-
Cool-room harvest: frames uncapped by hand, honey spun at ambient temperature—no heat ever applied.
-
Coarse straining only: wax chips out, pollen and enzymes stay in.
-
Natural settle: 48 h rest, then straight into drums, totes or 60 lb buckets.
4. Where it shines
| Application | Why Extra White is perfect |

| Fresh cheese & fruit boards | Delicate citrus note complements mild dairy |
| Everyday drizzle | Swirl into yogurt, iced coffee or smoothies with zero visual impact |
5. Raw integrity
Never heated, never micro-filtered. Over time it will crystallize—your proof it’s truly raw. To reliquefy, stand the container in warm water (≈ 100 °F / 38 °C) and stir gently; crystals melt back without muting the aroma.
