Fig Honey (Dark Amber)
Botanical Origin & Nectar Source
Harvested from the nectar of Ficus carica blossoms, Fig Honey is a rare varietal with roots in ancient groves across Mexico’s warm, arid regions. Unlike typical flowering plants, fig trees bear hidden inflorescences—tiny inverted flowers enclosed within the fruit itself. Honey bees access these elusive blooms through specialized openings, collecting nectar rich in minerals and complexity.
Color
Dark Amber (>120 mm Pfund), with a lustrous mahogany glow—an immediate indicator of its elevated antioxidant and mineral content.
Aroma & Flavor
Deep, luxurious, and layered. Expect earthy sweetness touched by notes of dried fig, roasted nuts, and subtle hints of molasses and spice. The finish is round, smooth, and lingering—an indulgent experience that speaks of sun-drenched orchards and old-world richness.
Texture & Crystallization
Velvety and dense, with a naturally moderate crystallization rate. As it sets, Fig Honey forms a thick, fine-grained cream ideal for spreading or whipping. Its mouth-coating quality adds body to any recipe or drizzle.
Nutritional Highlights
The dark hue signals dense nutrition: naturally high in potassium, magnesium, and iron, as well as polyphenols and enzymes. This is honey not just for taste—but for nourishment, offering support for digestion, recovery, and immune function.
