Harvested exclusively from the fleeting blossoms of Vanilla planifolia, this rare monofloral honey captures a moment that lasts only hours—each vanilla orchid flower opens for a single morning once per year. Sourced from historic vanilla-growing regions of Veracruz, Oaxaca, and Chiapas, this honey reflects the true origin of vanilla itself. Its Light Amber hue is clean and luminous, light enough to keep teas and beverages visually clear while adding a soft golden warmth to glazes, pastries, and bottled drinks.

🌸 Flavor & Aroma Profile
The aroma is elegant and refined—soft vanilla orchid, gentle sweet spice, and a hint of almond. On the palate, a mild floral sweetness unfolds into natural vanilla notes, followed by subtle dried fruit and tropical blossom tones. The finish is smooth, warm, and lingering, never bitter or cloying. A naturally high fructose content keeps the honey fluid for months, and when crystallization occurs, it forms ultra-fine, silky crystals that dissolve quickly and evenly.

Why It’s Special

  • True monofloral honey from vanilla orchid blossoms

  • Naturally vanilla-forward without added flavoring

  • Light Amber color preserves clarity in beverages

  • Slow crystallization with an exceptionally smooth texture

  • Raw and unfiltered to protect enzymes, pollen, and aromatics

🍯 Culinary Uses & Pairings

  • Premium teas & tisanes – sweetens gently while adding a soft vanilla finish

  • Coffee & café drinks – dissolves easily in hot or cold beverages; ideal for lattes and cold brew

  • Desserts & pastries – elevates custards, crème brûlée, ice cream, pound cake, and laminated doughs

  • Breakfast favorites – perfect for yogurt, oatmeal, pancakes, and crêpes

  • Cocktails & shrubs – builds smooth, balanced syrups for bourbon, rum, and cream-soda profiles

  • Cheese & charcuterie – pairs beautifully with ricotta, triple-cream Brie, and prosciutto

🌿 Craft & Character
Harvested at peak bloom and handled gently, this honey is extracted at ambient temperatures and gravity-strained only, never heated or blended. Because vanilla vines bloom just once a year and each flower lasts mere hours, yields are extremely limited—each batch reflecting a unique microclimate and terroir.

A true expression of orchid-born luxury—floral, naturally vanilla-kissed, and exquisitely smooth, this Vanilla Blossom Honey brings rare elegance and clean-label authenticity to both artisanal and production-scale creations.
