Size:

Harvested from Persea americana (avocado) orchards in southern Mexico, this Avocado Blossom Honey is a true standout among dark honeys. During a remarkably short flowering cycle—often just a couple of days—each mature avocado tree releases millions of tiny blossoms, giving bees an intense but fleeting nectar flow. The result is a deep mahogany-colored honey, rich and glossy, signaling a naturally high mineral content and a bold, expressive character.

🥑 Flavor & Aroma Profile
This honey pours like molten amber. The aroma opens with toasted cocoa husk and a whisper of smoke, leading into flavors of molasses, buttery toffee, and dried fig. Despite its depth and intensity, the finish remains silky, smooth, and never bitter. A fructose-rich nectar keeps the honey fluid for months, and when crystallization occurs, it forms fine, creamy crystals that retain a luxurious mouthfeel.

Why It’s Special

  • Deep, dark honey naturally higher in minerals and polyphenols

  • Contains perseitol, a rare seven-carbon sugar unique to avocado blossoms

  • Slow crystallization with extended pourability

  • Bold, complex flavor prized by chefs and artisans

  • Raw and unfiltered to preserve enzymes, pollen, and antioxidants

🍯 Culinary Uses & Pairings

  • Savory applications – brush onto roasted root vegetables, grilled salmon, pork ribs, or chicken

  • Marinades & sauces – whisk into balsamic, soy, or chili-based marinades for caramelized depth

  • Baking & desserts – substitute for molasses in gingerbread or spice cakes; fold into dark-chocolate ganache

  • Beverages – sweeten espresso, cold brew, stout reductions, or barrel-aged cocktails

  • Cheese & charcuterie – pairs beautifully with aged Gouda, blue cheeses, cured meats, bourbon, and mezcal

🌿 Craft & Character
Handled with care, this honey is never pasteurized or ultra-filtered, ensuring that its live enzymes, minerals, and aromatic compounds remain intact. Its dark color reflects both its nutrient density and antioxidant capacity, qualities for which dark honeys are especially valued.

Bold, buttery, and unmistakably rich—Avocado Blossom Honey delivers depth, nutrition, and dramatic flavor in every pour, making it an essential ingredient for chefs, bakers, and producers seeking a powerful, dark-honey expression with true culinary impact.
