Meli searches for the best honey all over the world. To get the best taste and quality, we get it directly from the beekeeper.
Since the 18th century, the flower honey from the champagne region has been known for its characteristic and sweet flavour. Gold-coloured, with a mild, floral perfume; everyone loves this honey.
Origin
The region is located in the north-eastern part of France and is the most northern area in the country suitable for wine production. The climate is quite mild. The champagne region offers the bees a great diversity of flowers, always depending on the season. Think of fruit trees, linden trees, cotoneasters, phacelia, asters, and thousands of wildflowers.
Short chain
Meli gets its honey directly from the beekeepers from the region. These beekeepers put all their efforts into the locally harvested honey. This honey does not travel far and retains its special flavour.
Flavour
The naturally pure liquid flower honey has a mild, fruity flavour. In the mouth it reveals a nice caramel flavour with a hint of flower aroma.
