Ailanthus Honey (Tree of Heaven Honey)
Ailanthus honey is a rare and surprising uniforal honey. Harvested in June from the flowers of the "Tree of Heaven" (Ailanthus altissima), this invasive plant defies the unpleasant odor of its leaves to offer bees an extraordinarily sweet and delicate nectar.
Appearance: It features an amber-yellow color when liquid, shifting to lighter, warmer shades upon its natural crystallization.
Aroma & Taste: It surprises with an intensely fruity profile. On the palate, it is enveloping and distinctly recalls the flavors of muscat grapes, lychee, and peach iced tea.
Properties & Benefits
An excellent natural tonic and restorative, it is rich in antioxidants that combat oxidative stress. It boasts mild sedative properties for the nervous system, supports gut flora balance, and provides an anti-inflammatory, soothing action ideal for calming coughs.
In the kitchen: Perfect for drizzling over fruit salads, ice cream, and fresh or medium-aged cheeses.
