Mango Honey (Amber)
Source Plant & Botanical Notes
Botanical name: Mangifera indica (mango tree)
In Mexico’s coastal lowlands and river valleys, mature mango trees erupt in dense, terminal panicles of ivory-pink flowers every dry season. Each inflorescence carries hundreds of tiny, fragrant blossoms, yet fewer than 1 % will set fruit—leaving a bounty of nectar for honey bees. Because mango bloom follows cool, rain-free nights and warms quickly at sunrise, bees collect nectar that is both concentrated and naturally high in fructose.
Color
Amber — a rich, sunset-gold hue that hints at tropical pollen pigments and gentle, unheated handling.
Aroma & Flavor
-
Aroma: Ripe mango peel, vanilla pollen and a faint note of orchard blossoms after rain.
-
Flavor: Begins with smooth, caramel-tinged sweetness, rises into soft mango-fruit and citrus blossom, and finishes clean with a whisper of spice. Balanced and approachable—never syrupy or cloying.
Texture & Crystallization
Thanks to a high fructose-to-glucose (F/G) ratio, Mango Blossom Honey stays pourable for months. When it eventually crystallizes, it sets into fine, creamy granules that spread like butter and dissolve instantly.
Origin & Harvest
-
Region: Pacific and Gulf mango belts—Nayarit, Chiapas and Veracruz.
-
Bloom window: February – April, triggered by short cool spells followed by warm, dry days.
-
Method: Frames are pulled within 24 h of capping, spun at ambient temperature and gravity-strained only—no pasteurisation, no ultrafiltration—so enzymes, volatiles and micronutrients remain intact.

Pure, Raw & Unfiltered Quality
This honey is presented in its most natural state, completely raw and unfiltered. There’s no pasteurization, no ultrafine filtering, and absolutely no shortcuts. It’s harvested at peak bloom and gently strained to remove large pieces of comb, while preserving all the beneficial elements: live enzymes, antioxidants, natural pollen, and delicate aromatic compounds. The result is pure, unaltered honey, just as nature intended, delivered without heat damage, so every batch retains its full strength and true flavor.
