Where does it come from?

This exquisite natural handmade honey, is produced by bees as a result of libation to extract pollen and nectar from the flowers of citrus plants (orange (Citrus X sinensis), Mandarin (Citrus X reticulata), lemon (Citrus X lemon)) and the accompanying varied native wild flora.

The Orange Tree is the most representative species, being a medium-sized perennial tree with a large globular crown, slightly coriaceous oval leaves and sometimes spiny branches; emblematic are its intensely fragrant vivid flowers ("orange blossom flowers") tremendously attractive to the Bee and its appreciated fruit, the Orange.

It is a species very naturally adapted to coastal climates of stable temperatures and pleasant winters, so that intense frosts can even wipe out the tree. As for the terrain, orange trees mostly like slightly limestone Sandy-silica soils, which have a small percentage of clays and have the possibility of frequent watering without reaching the point of saturation, as is the case with other plants located in the area.

Orange Blossom Honey, Etymology and History

The orange trees had their natural origin in India, Pakistan, Vietnam and southeast China, and were brought to the West by the Arabs.
Sanskrit word "Naranga" meaning "Orange", "Tree of oranges"; The Legend also cites that an elephant died because it ingested an excessive amount of oranges, relating as a result this word to "poison for elephants"; another meaning is given in tamil, resulting "naru= fragrant". From India it passed to Persia and from there to the Arabian Peninsula, where it was called "Orange", thus naming the bitter orange; already in the Middle Ages, was introduced in the Iberian Peninsula leading to the current name (naranjo), then moving to the rest of Europe through France, even to England, where he acquired the appellation of the provencal old "naurange" (pronounced noránsh), which became "orange" (as the English article a (an before vowel) and French une, appearing in "a norange" and "une norange" became so equivocal in "an orange" and "une orange", respectively).
In some other very particular Central European language such as Dutch, the fruit was called "sinaasappel" ("Chinese Apple") and "oranje" (color).
