The jar bears the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.inao.gouv.fr\/produit\/miel-de-provence-3512\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ePGI \"Miel de Provence\" seal\u003c\/a\u003e on its lid, a protected geographical indication that has guaranteed its origin from 6 departments of the PACA region, the south of Drôme, and parts of Gard since 2005. 250 g in a jar, not pasteurized.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA honey like a small summer in the South. Spooning it onto breakfast bread almost makes you hear the cicadas chirping and see the lilac-blue fields between Apt and Sault under the midday sun.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFragrant, floral, sunny\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe lavender honey appears light ivory in the jar and is naturally spreadable and creamy – a consistency that naturally occurs in this Provençal honey due to its high pollen content.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe typical lavender scent is immediately present, subtly herbaceous, accompanied by a delicate sweetness without heaviness. On the palate, it is fragrant, floral, sunny – with a long, gentle sweetness and a quiet, almost sage-like finish. It's astonishing how much the lilac-blue fields continue to live on in the jar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWith goat cheese, in herbal tea, on sourdough bread\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWe are captivated by the lavender honey because its delicate floral character is not only perfect for classic breakfast bread but also unfolds a little magic in warm dishes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWe love it on a warm piece of goat cheese, briefly baked in the oven at 180 degrees for 5 minutes, accompanied by a piece of baguette and a glass of rosé – a classic Provençal mini feast. It also works wonderfully in a cup of herbal tea, especially verbena or chamomile. Try it as a glaze for a grilled lamb chop: 1 teaspoon of honey, a little lemon zest, olive oil, and a few sprigs of thyme – that gives the meat a summery depth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOur kitchen tip: a spoon over fresh figs with blue cheese, plus a few walnuts – the floral sweetness of lavender meets the saltiness of the cheese, a combination you won't forget after the first bite.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFrom the lavender fields of Provence, selected by Carlant in Strasbourg\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLavender and Provence – they belong together like croissants and coffee. Between mid-June and August, the fields around Sault, Valensole, and Apt are in full bloom, and with the plants comes the buzzing: bees collect the nectar of the lilac-blue blossoms and carry it back to the hives of the beekeepers, who follow the blossoms with their bee wagons.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBehind \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/beauharnais\"\u003eBeauharnais\u003c\/a\u003e stands the delicatessen house Carlant from Strasbourg, founded about 25 years ago in Rue de Wasselonne. Beauharnais is not a beekeeper itself – as Carlant emphasizes, the house carefully selects honeys from the harvesting areas of its varietal partners and bottles them in its own factory in 250g jars.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe lavender honey comes directly from beekeepers in Provence, bears the PGI seal on the lid, and remains untreated – meaning not heated, not filtered, but just as it comes from the hive. All due respect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eEnjoyment tip\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAt room temperature of 12 to 18 degrees, spoon-soft, stored in a dark and cool place – this keeps the lavender honey aromatic for a long time. If it crystallizes later, that's a sign of quality: place the sealed jar in warm water at about 40 degrees for 5 to 10 minutes, stir briefly, and it will become fluid again. Try it alongside the herbaceous \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/beauharnais-honig-aus-der-provence-250g\"\u003eProvence blossom honey\u003c\/a\u003e or the mild \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/beauharnais-honig-aus-der-champagne-250g\"\u003eChampagne honey\u003c\/a\u003e from the same house – three small spoons side by side, and you have a small French tasting at your kitchen table.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Beauharnais","offers":[{"title":"250 g","offer_id":56364549505350,"sku":"033DAN0001","price":8.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0998\/4960\/1350\/files\/beauharnais-lavendelhonig-provence_736503a2-a3b1-447a-a30b-49188ca220ed.jpg?v=1776147752","url":"https:\/\/ginusslande.com\/en\/products\/beauharnais-lavendelhonig-250g","provider":"genussland","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
