An Autumnal and Preserved Terroir

Our ivy honey is harvested in regions where ivy grows abundantly, often along forest edges and paths. Ivy, a climbing plant with evergreen leaves and greenish flowers, is a late-blooming nectar source, highly prized by bees in autumn. They forage on its flowers at this time of year, producing a rare and precious honey.

Benefits and Uses

• Benefits: Ivy honey is renowned for its invigorating, revitalizing, antiseptic, and expectorant properties. It is traditionally used to soothe coughs and sore throats.
• Serving suggestion: It can be enjoyed on its own, by the spoonful, to fully appreciate its unique flavor, or spread on a slice of toast, in yogurt, or with fromage blanc. It also pairs wonderfully with meats, game, and aged cheeses.

Storage Tips

• Store your ivy honey in a dry place away from light, at room temperature.
• Ivy honey crystallizes quickly; this is a natural phenomenon that does not alter its quality in any way.
