Kind words are like honey, sweet to the soul and healthy for the body. Proverbs 16:24
Let us invite you on a Tour de France for your taste buds, thanks to our range of French honeys by Hédène. Climb aboard for a journey of the senses and discover France's floral heritage. Each Hédène honey comes from the emblematic flowers of a French terroir, and each one stands out with its own unique aromas, color and texture.
Three guidelines behind every jar
The excellence and authenticity of these honeys come from three main principles:
- Apiaries are established in the most beautiful wildflower parcels of France.
- Honeys are cold extracted and never pasteurized.
- All designations of origin are certified.
Regional varieties
Every honey is named for its flower and its region. Here is the tour:
- Lavender from the Lubéron
- Fir from Lorraine
- Acacia from Burgundy
- Rosemary from Languedoc
- Chestnut from Lozère
- Linden from Lorraine
- Alder Buckthorn from the Landes
- Blackberry from Limousin
- Oak from Aquitaine
- Buckwheat from Loiret
- Carrot from the Gâtinais
- Hawthorn from Charentes
- Alfalfa from the Ardennes
- Clover from Périgord
Thanks to this wide range of single-origin, pure cru honeys, you can appreciate a fantastic variety of tastes. Honey is a natural, raw product.
How to enjoy Hédène honey
Honey is a noble product, and an easy one to enjoy:
- Straight out of the jar, with a honey dipper if you like.
- Paired with cheese. A few suggestions: heather honey with a Comté, linden honey with a Brie, or chestnut honey with a Roquefort. Very satisfying.
- As the main ingredient of a beef marinade: fir honey, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, olive oil, salt and pepper.
- In pastries and desserts: alder buckthorn honey ice cream, rosemary-honey roasted cherries, or a lavender honey and apricot clafoutis.
You get the idea: with such a wide range of French honeys offering amazing flavors, textures and colors, the sky is the limit.
