Wild lavender honey from Sardinia

Lavender (Lavandula) is an aromatic plant belonging to the mint family (Lamiaceae) and includes numerous varieties. It is primarily used to produce its fragrant lavender oil, but is also widely used as an ornamental plant.

This wild lavender honey from Sardinia impresses with its floral, balanced flavor. It is considered a high-quality monofloral honey and impresses with its clear, delicate honey aroma, occasionally accompanied by a delicate hint of the characteristic lavender scent.

Overall, lavender honey is a special honey specialty – with a strong color, pleasantly mild sweetness and a fine, floral fragrance profile.

This honey was produced by the Asphodel beekeeping collective, with whom we collaborate for our high-quality Sardinian honeys. Asphodel's beekeepers are committed to never feeding their bees with sugar water or other artificial food sources. The bees receive only their own honey. Our tip: Visit these passionate beekeepers at their headquarters, about a 20-minute drive from Olbia, and let them explain their working methods. Asphodel offers these bee and honey experiences upon request.
