Wildflower Honey – Miel de Milflores

TASTING NOTES

The taste of a thousand flowers

This honey has an amber colour that can range from light to somewhat darker depending on its composition. Its aroma is floral, with a rich variety of aromatic and flavour nuances.

What makes this honey special is that its character is determined by the flowers that predominate in a given year. Each season therefore leaves its own subtle imprint on the final flavour profile.

The honey is sweet, with the precise flavour depending on the dominant blossoms. Its degree of crystallisation also varies with its botanical composition.

The result is a natural wildflower honey with a versatile character, reflecting the richness of the Extremadura landscape in a slightly different way each year.

AT THE TABLE

What does this honey pair especially well with?

Thanks to its floral character, Milflores is an exceptionally versatile honey. Marqués de Valdueza recommends the following combinations, among others.

Fruit salads– A little wildflower honey enhances the natural sweetness of fresh fruit. Delicious with strawberries, peaches, figs and citrus fruits.

Herbal tea– A floral sweetener that pairs particularly well with mild teas and herbal infusions.

Fish dishes– Use a small amount in a light marinade or dressing for fish. Its floral sweetness provides a delightful contrast to fresh and savoury flavours.

Meat dishes– Ideal for adding a subtle sweet touch to a marinade, sauce or glaze. Particularly delicious with mustard or lemon.

A TIP FROM MARQUÉS DE VALDUEZA

Honey & extra virgin olive oil

Toast a slice of artisan bread, drizzle it with a fine extra virgin olive oil and add a little Milflores wildflower honey. The fruitiness of the olive oil and the floral sweetness of the honey make a delicious pairing. Simple, pure and exceptionally tasty.

FROM FLOWER TO JAR

The flowers of the Spanish dehesa

This honey comes from the flowers of the dehesa, Extremadura’s characteristic landscape of open grasslands, pastures and scattered trees. On these estates, bees collect nectar from whichever flowers are in bloom.

This natural diversity is precisely what makes Milflores special. The mix of flowers changes with the season and weather conditions, so the honey may vary slightly in colour, aroma and flavour each year.

Before packaging, the honey is only gently warmed to below 40 °C. This makes it easier to handle, settle and fill into jars.

As the honey undergoes no other physical or chemical treatment, it may naturally solidify and crystallise over time. The speed and texture of crystallisation depend on the composition of the wildflower honey.

GOOD TO KNOW

Storage & shelf life

Store the honey in a cool, dry place. Close the jar tightly after use.

If the honey has crystallised and you prefer it liquid, gently warm the jar in a warm-water bath. Crystallisation is natural and is not a sign of spoilage.
