Description
Juniper grows in the forests and on the heights of the Middle Atlas. It flowers discreetly and yields little nectar, which explains how rare this honey is. The taste is woody, faintly resinous, with a sweetness that arrives afterwards.
The honey stays 100% pure, raw and unpasteurised, harvested in small quantities.
How to use juniper honey
Neat by the spoon, in an infusion, on a mature cheese, or in a marinade. Its resinous note stands up to savoury dishes, which is rare for a honey.
Available in 1 kg and 500 g. Store in a dry place, away from light. Do not give honey to children under 12 months.
