What is Avocado Honey?

Avocado honey is a special, monofloral honey type harvested from the nectar of avocado tree (Persea americana) blossoms. Avocado trees bloom in spring, mainly in Spanish orchards, where bees benefit from the fragrant blossoms. The result is a rare and delicate honey with a mild, buttery taste and a dark, sometimes slightly greenish hue.

Why is Avocado Honey So Rare?

A special fact about avocado honey: avocado trees bloom around the same time as citrus trees, and bees often prefer citrus blossoms over avocado blossoms. Consequently, avocado honey is harvested only in limited quantities, making it one of the rarer specialties in our range.

What Does Avocado Honey Taste Like?

Avocado honey has a creamy, silky-smooth texture and a rich, mild flavor. The taste is often described as buttery with subtle notes of flowers, herbs, and sometimes a hint of nuts or citrus. Some people also taste a slight resemblance to dried plums or ripe, tropical fruits. It is a flavorful, versatile honey that pairs well with both sweet and savory dishes.

Nutritional Value of Avocado Honey

Per 100 grams, avocado honey contains approximately 1209 kJ / 308 kcal, 75.5 grams of carbohydrates (of which 75.5 grams are sugars), 0.4 grams of protein, and 0 grams of fat. As with all honey, avocado honey therefore consists predominantly of natural sugars; it is a flavorful sweetener, not a substitute for a varied diet.

How to Use Avocado Honey?

Avocado honey is a natural sweetener and is exclusively intended for internal (culinary) use:

• As a sweetener: use avocado honey in tea, coffee, yogurt, or cereals for a unique, creamy sweetness.
• In fruit dishes or desserts: pairs well with cakes, pies, or fresh fruit.
• As a glaze: particularly suitable for use on salmon, chicken, beef or pork, or grilled vegetables.
• On bread: pure from the spoon or combined with cheese.

• In tea: add the honey only when the drink has cooled to a maximum of 40°C, so that the natural enzymes in the honey are preserved.
