Source Plant & Botanical Notes

Botanical name: Citrus limon (lemon tree)
Lemon Honey is a bright, aromatic varietal crafted from the nectar of lemon blossoms, which bloom in waves throughout the year—especially in spring and late summer. These small, white, intensely fragrant flowers attract honey bees with both nectar and pollen, offering a citrus-forward foraging experience that results in honey as lively as the blossoms themselves. Grown in sun-drenched Mediterranean and subtropical groves, lemon trees provide not only culinary fruit but also one of the most invigorating floral honeys available.

Color

Lemon Honey presents an Extra Light Amber hue with a subtle golden clarity. Its luminous appearance reflects minimal oxidation and a low mineral content—typical of citrus blossom honeys. This bright color signals a refined, delicate profile, perfect for premium retail and culinary applications.

Aroma & Flavor

This honey opens with a fresh, lemony bouquet, accented by soft floral undertones reminiscent of citrus groves in bloom. Its flavor is crisp and uplifting, with a clean sweetness that finishes quickly on the palate. You’ll notice a gentle citrus zing—not acidic or sour, but refreshing—balanced by soft notes of wildflowers. It’s an ideal match for those who seek brightness and clarity in taste, without the weight of molasses-like or dark honeys.

Texture & Crystallization

Naturally smooth and silky, Lemon Honey retains fluidity for several months due to its moderate fructose-to-glucose (F/G) ratio. When crystallization eventually occurs, it forms fine, creamy crystals that preserve its light flavor and make it easy to spread or whip. Unlike some darker honeys that can granulate coarsely or unevenly, Lemon Honey transitions into a pleasant, spoonable consistency that retains its brightness and utility across applications.

Culinary Pairings & Uses

Versatile and elegant, Lemon Honey is a favorite in kitchens where freshness is key:

• Beverages: Stir into herbal teas, green teas, sparkling waters, or fresh-pressed juices. Its light profile complements without clouding delicate infusions.

• Vinaigrettes & Marinades: Blend into citrus dressings or glazes for fish, poultry, or grilled vegetables—it adds a touch of sweetness while amplifying the natural acidity of lemon.

• Baking: Perfect for citrus-forward pastries, ricotta pancakes, lemon tarts, or honey-lemon scones.

• Wellness: A gentle sweetener for ginger-turmeric shots, detox teas, or morning warm water routines—especially valued for its non-crystallizing reliability in fridge-stored blends.

• Finish & Garnish: Drizzle over Greek yogurt, berries, fresh chèvre, or avocado toast to highlight freshness and brighten flavor profiles.
