Buckwheat Honey from Anjou

RUSTIC SWEETNESS: HONEY FROM ANJOU, A TREASURE OF FRENCH SOIL

Hédène buckwheat honey is a true revelation for lovers of robust, authentic flavors. With its characteristic dark-brown color, this creamy monofloral honey is a nectar derived from the flowers of buckwheat, also known as buckwheat. Its creamy texture embodies all the depth and richness of this rare honey. On the palate, it reveals a full-bodied taste, with woody notes and powerful aromas reminiscent of gourmet coffee, with no bitterness on the finish, for complete gustatory pleasure.

Carefully harvested from the vast buckwheat fields of the Loire region, this distinctive honey reflects the richness of Anjou's terroir. The cultivation of buckwheat, particularly in the Loire Valley and Brittany, is the source of this powerful, aromatic honey. Comparable to white heather honey in intensity, buckwheat honey seduces with its dark brown color and woody nuances, reflecting the natural quality of the nectar gathered by the bees.

A SENSORY ODYSSEY IN THE HEART OF ANJOU

Hédène buckwheat honey, grown in France, is much more than a simple product of the hive. It transports you to the heart of buckwheat fields in full bloom, from mid-July to late August. Its robust fragrance and distinctive aroma combine woody notes, reminiscent of undergrowth, with delicate floral aromas that evoke the terroir of Anjou. From the very first taste, we perceive a subtle balance between powerful aromatic strength and light floral sweetness. Each drop captures the very essence of Anjou, a concentrate of nature and authenticity.

THE ANJOU CYCLE: FROM FLOWERING TO HONEY HARVESTING

The flowering of buckwheat, the traditional buckwheat plant grown in the region, colors the fields of Maine-et-Loire white. Bees gather nectar-rich flowers to produce exceptional honey. Harvesting generally begins in late August and lasts until early September. This timing is crucial for expert beekeepers, to preserve the honey's thick, creamy and sometimes liquid texture, and avoid crystallization too quickly. To preserve all its properties and benefits, we recommend storing the jar of honey at room temperature, in a dry place.
