With a light golden hue, Marques de Valdueza's raw Orange Blossom Honey from Extremadura, Spain, has a flavor profile comparable to clover honey but more well-rounded, with up-front floral notes giving way to a pleasantly bright citrus accent from Seville orange blossoms. Because the company does not pasteurize its honey, we found it to be slightly more crystallized than some other varieties, so the Orange Blossom Honey works better as a spread than other honeys that might simply soak into foods.
We test everything we sell. Here’s how we’d use this.
We love the light, floral notes of Marques de Valdueza's Orange Blossom Honey in a hot cup of tea when you want honey flavor that won't overpower the beverage; use it for an added floral dimension in chamomile or white tea. We also drizzle this honey on yogurt with berries and granola or use it as a sweet counterpoint over bold, funky cheeses. You can slather it thickly on toast with good salted butter or make our Honey-Thyme Butter; the delicate earthiness of fresh thyme pairs well with the richness of Orange Blossom Honey. It’s a great glaze, too: Blend with lemon juice and minced fresh oregano to spoon over roasted chicken or pork.
