Honey Varietals
Honey varietals refer to the different types of honey produced by bees, each with unique flavors, colors, and aromas. These differences arise from the specific flowers that bees visit for nectar. Common varietals include clover, wildflower, and orange blossom, each offering distinct taste profiles and potential health benefits.
The characteristics of honey varietals can also be influenced by factors such as geography, climate, and beekeeping practices. For example, manuka honey from New Zealand is known for its medicinal properties, while lavender honey has a floral aroma. Understanding these varietals can enhance the appreciation of honey's diversity.
