florida sunshine in a bottle
Orange blossom honey comes from the fragrant blossoms of the sweet orange tree. Buds begin forming in late January or early February, and the trees come into full bloom in April. As it takes many months for the fruit to ripen, you can often see new blooms and ripe fruit on the tree at the same time.
This honey comes to you from sunny, Central Florida, which is famous for its many acres of colorful orange groves.
color and flavor
The color of this honey is a bit darker, and ranges from light amber to amber.
The taste is very sweet, with a just a hint of citrus at the end.
food pairings
With its bold sweetness, this honey stands up well in baking. Use it to make a quickbread, such orange-honey walnut bread (a first prize winner at the 2018 Ohio State Fair), or cranberry orange muffins.
Orange blossom honey is also a good match for these gluten-free lemon-curd thumbprint cookies.
