As soon as our orange trees go into bloom in May, the tree puts all its energy into the blossom instead of the fruit, which is why we declare the blossom as the end of the orange season. Our bees then collect the nectar for our orange blossom honey during these weeks. The flowering goes about 2-3 weeks and then we fill the orange blossom honey in the summer months the honey of the season. That's why your label has the date of May.

The bees then spend the hot summer in Burgos (northern Spain), where they collect the gerbirgshonignektar. We then bottle it in October.

According to Spanish law, we are obliged to write a sell-by date on the jar.

We took your feedback to heart and now there are still some jars that have this label:

Old label:

15 - batch number

2025 - Expiration date (according to span. law this has to be shown, but honey will NOT go bad)

24/05/2017 - Bottling date

New label:

But it is important that you understand that honey does NOT go bad. With time and also depending on the temperature, honey crystallizes. This is the highest quality mark that there is, because it means that the honey is pure and clean. It means that our bees have taken nothing but their own nectar - so no sugar (which would not make the honey crystallize).

So what do I do if I like liquid honey?

You can easily make the honey liquid again in a warm water bath.
