Miel de Garrigue, made with thyme and rosemary, is an authentic Provençal specialty that captures the very essence of the Mediterranean scrubland. This exceptional polyfloral honey comes from the garrigue, that characteristic, rugged, and sun-drenched landscape of southern France that stretches across Provence and Languedoc.
In this unique ecosystem, bees collect nectar from an abundance of low-growing, aromatic herbs. While thyme (Thymus vulgaris) provides a spicy, balsamic depth and rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis) contributes subtle, slightly resinous and sweeter notes, lavender, savory, rockrose, and heather often enrich the harmonious composition. This diverse blend makes each vintage a distinctive reflection of the Mediterranean terroir.
Garrigue honey has a robust, aromatic, and spicy flavor, yet the rosemary content lends it a pleasantly mild and slightly sweet taste. The intense, lingering aftertaste inevitably evokes memories of the fragrant herb-covered slopes of Provence. Its color ranges from a warm light brown to a deep brown with reddish highlights that reflect the Mediterranean sunlight.
The texture exhibits a medium- to fine-grained crystallization, with the rosemary content giving the honey a particularly creamy consistency. This velvety texture makes it a special taste experience, allowing the complex aromas to develop optimally.
As the quintessential Provençal honey, Miel de Garrigue enjoys the highest esteem among connoisseurs. In traditional folk medicine, its intense herbal aromas, particularly those of thyme, are attributed with antiseptic and healing properties for respiratory ailments. This rich honey embodies the Mediterranean sun and the aromatic power of Provence in every drop.
