There is a moment in summer, somewhere between the hills of the Pays de Grasse and the wild garrigue of the Alpes-Maritimes, when the lavender blooms and the bees do the rest.
Lavender honey is one of the most complex and misunderstood honeys in the world. The bees forage almost exclusively on lavender blossoms during a very short flowering window, late June through July. That brief, precise season is everything.
The nectar is collected, the water content reduced to around 18%, sealed in the comb. Once harvested, the frames are uncapped by hand, extracted, and left to decant and mature before being gently filtered and jarred.
What makes this one special is that the actual lavender flower is in the jar. Normally, lavender honey carries only the scent and the memory of the flower. Here, the flower itself is present. The flavour is deeper, more alive.
This is a terroir honey. Like a great w**e, it carries the altitude, the soil, the microclimate, and the hands of the person who made it.
We source ours from a small artisan producer in the Alpes-Maritimes, someone who works with the seasons, respects the bees, and produces in very limited quantities.
