TASTING NOTES
A hint of orange blossom
This honey has a very light amber colour with soft yellow hues. Its aroma is distinctly floral, with fresh citrus notes that are intense and long-lasting.
The taste is pleasantly sweet. The honey has a liquid consistency and crystallises slowly, forming fine crystals.
The result is an elegant, aromatic honey in which the floral fragrance and fresh citrus notes complement each other beautifully.

Cheese – A delightful addition to a cheese board. Its gentle sweetness provides a pleasant contrast to savoury cheeses.
Game birds – Use a small amount to add a delicate touch of sweetness to dishes made with game birds.
Ice cream – A drizzle over vanilla ice cream makes a beautifully aromatic dessert.
Herbal tea – A natural sweetener that also adds a floral fragrance and fresh citrus notes.

A TIP FROM MARQUÉS DE VALDUEZA
Honey & extra virgin olive oil
Toast a slice of good bread, drizzle it with a fine extra virgin olive oil and add a little orange blossom honey. A surprisingly simple combination in which the floral honey and the fruity character of the olive oil complement each other perfectly.
FROM BLOSSOM TO JAR
Traditionally harvested in Extremadura
This honey is made from orange blossom nectar. The bees collect nectar on the estates of Marqués de Valdueza in the Spanish region of Extremadura.
Before packing, the honey is only gently warmed to below 40 °C. This makes it easier to handle, settle and pour into jars.
As the honey undergoes no further physical or chemical treatment, it may gradually return to its natural solid form and crystallise. This is a normal process and not a sign of spoilage.
GOOD TO KNOW
Storage & shelf life
Store the honey in a cool, dry place. Close the jar tightly after use.
Has the honey crystallised, but would you prefer it liquid? Gently warm the jar in a bain-marie with warm water.
Shelf life according to the producer
Following a revision of its shelf-life policy, Marqués de Valdueza now uses a best-before period of 10 years from the harvest date. Previously, this period was two years. Please refer to the best-before date on the packaging.
