Acacia honey selected by Les Abeilles de Malescot comes from the Pyrenees, where it is harvested from the first blossoms of the season using traditional methods. It is a monofloral honey, 100% acacia, with a golden colour of great clarity.

Its light, fluid texture makes it the most delicate of the terroir honeys. The nose is discreet, subtly floral; the palate, soft and refined, lacks the bitterness of chestnut honey as well as the power of forest honeys. Naturally rich in fructose, acacia crystallises very slowly and remains liquid for a long time, which explains its popularity with those who enjoy seeing honey flow from the spoon.

This aromatic neutrality is a precious asset for the tea lover: it sweetens without altering. A Chinese green tea, a white tea or a light oolong thus keep all their finesse. The producer also recommends it with cheese, particularly fresh goat’s cheese or a young pressed cheese, or simply by the spoonful. In the kitchen, it lends itself to creams, yoghurts and roasted fruit. It is, finally, the ideal honey for introducing a novice palate to tasting.
