Monofloral Honey

What is Monofloral Honey?

Monofloral honey is a type of honey primarily derived from the nectar of a single plant species. Unlike multifloral or wildflower honey, which is created from a mix of various floral sources, monofloral honey showcases the unique characteristics of one dominant nectar source.

This results in honey that has a distinct flavor, aroma, and color reflective of its specific floral origin. For instance, Lavender Honey has a light floral taste, while Buckwheat Honey is darker and richer with a malty flavor.

Monofloral honey is often prized for its purity and the ability to capture the essence of a particular plant, making each variety a unique taste experience. These honeys can also have unique health benefits depending on the plant, such as the antibacterial properties of Manuka Honey or the soothing qualities of Eucalyptus Honey.

At Wild Harvest Honey Farm, we offer an extensive selection of rare and exotic monofloral honeys from around the world, each with its own story and flavor profile.
