Organic French Acacia honey

Flowering and harvesting of acacia honey :

Depending on the region, acacia flowers from late April to late June. Its white flowers in hanging clusters are highly fragrant and reputed to be extremely melliferous. The color of acacia honey fluctuates between very light when it’s very pure, and golden yellow when it’s less so!

Our French organic Acacia honey comes from the plains of the Landes. Harvesting Acacia honey in France is a growing challenge every year. This scarcity is attributable to the acacia’s short flowering period, making harvesting extremely uncertain. In May, when the acacias are in full bloom, specific weather conditions are required: temperatures above 20 degrees Celsius, mild nights and fine weather. In fact, it’s at 20° that nectar begins to be produced. These conditions make each harvest an exceptional event.

French harvests of organic acacia honey do not cover our needs. Most organic acacia honey comes from Eastern Europe or China.

This year, we are delighted to offer you an exceptional harvest, a guarantee of purity.
