Alfalfa Honey from Ardennes

A SWEET AND SCENTED HONEYH

France Hédène alfalfa honey is a honey known for its incredible sweetness and captivating floral scent. Its light color and delicate aroma testify to the floral richness of the environment. On the palate, alfalfa honey offers a sweet and subtle flavor, with slightly herbaceous and floral notes that evoke flowering meadows, creating a delicate balance between sweetness and freshness.

Carefully harvested in the lush meadows of the Ardennes, within the regional natural park, Hédène alfalfa honey seduces with its creaminess which reveals discreetly fruity notes from the first bite. Its sweet flavor is accompanied by multiple benefits which make this honey a nectar appreciated as much for its taste as for its virtues.

Just like Hawthorn honey from Rhône-Alpes, known for its subtle vegetal and floral nuances, alfalfa honey is distinguished by a lightness that delights lovers of pure and natural flavors, reflecting the serenity of its rural origins.

A RARE AND DELICIOUS TREASURE

Ardennes alfalfa honey is harvested during the summer period, when the meadows are abundantly in flower. Bees collect nectar from alfalfa flowers, capturing the essence of this picturesque region. Once very widespread, alfalfa honey is becoming increasingly rare because alfalfa is often cut before flowering to feed livestock. However, this nectar, as sweet as acacia honey, is a true concentrate of energy wrapped in a clear and creamy color.
