Honey is a powerful expression of the landscape. Botany enthusiasts (except for vegans) usually love this sticky, very sweet, aromatic substance made by bees (Apis mellifica<\/em>) from the nectar of flowers that they deposit in the honeycomb to feed their young.<\/h6>\n

The counties of Girona are honey country, with a group of beekeepers who travel up and down the land with their hives to make the most of all the blooms, from the coast to the high mountains. There are light honeys, dark honeys, yellow, brown and grey honeys. There are heather, arbutus, chestnut, oak and rosemary honeys. Mixed-flower honey varies from one place to another and they have a different colour, flavour and aroma, depending on each area and beekeeper, who will move the hives at the right time at their discretion, aware that the bees suck all the nectar that they can, without discrimination. And there are also mountain honeys and lowland honeys. Honeys from dry places and honeys from areas with generous rainfall. There are botanical garden honeys, urban honeys and plantation honeys.<\/p>\n

Honey is used by those who are big fans of plants to sweeten their infusions. It is used in the kitchen for traditional dishes, such as cod with honey; to sweeten soft cheeses, to make cakes or to eat with toasted bread. It\u2019s honey!<\/p>\n

Lavender Honeycomb<\/h3>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator type=”small” position=”left” color=”#000000″ thickness=”1″ up=”10″ down=”10″][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][vc_column_text]Honeycomb is attractive and intriguing. This honeycomb comes from Dol\u00e7a Abella\u2019s bees in Cap de Creus, harvested when the honey reaches its optimum point so it retains all the aromas and the nutritional, medicinal and flavour properties. It is a single-flower spring honey made from lavender (Lavandula stoechas<\/em>), with a mild floral aroma, persistent high sweetness and a touch of acidity. French lavender, also known as tomany\u00ed,<\/em> is one of the characteristic species of Cap de Creus flora and reaches its peak in early spring when the park is covered with the purple patches of its blooms.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
