Lavender honey

A range of Provence PGI and Label Rouge lavender honey

Lavender honey has a special place in French gastronomy and is the pride of Provence. Its floral and fresh notes go equally well with savoury and sweet dishes. Bees that collect nectar from Sarraud Farm’s fine lavender produce a typical honey from Vaucluse with a young golden colour and a sweet, fruity and warm taste. A tasting is a must!

At Sarraud Farm, in Sault en Provence, beekeepers take turns to produce great honey. Their bees have a 200-hectare playground composed exclusively of lavender. This immense area guarantees a specific nectar of superior quality. Bees can choose between different species: fine or true lavender, lavandin abrialis and lavandin super. Honey is harvested during the summer season, just like plants. Sarraud honey has a delicate taste and a fine structure. Liquid in its youth, it sets over time. Its colour varies from one jar to another in a completely natural way. The Cheyrias family is very proud to present jars of Provence PGI and Label Rouge lavender honey.
