Israel is famous for its citrus trees, oranges, lemons, and pomelos. There are stories of early visitors to the Holy Land who would purchase a bag of sweet oranges to carry back to family in Europe so that they could taste the sweetness of the land.
Negohot Honey has taken advantage of this abundance of citrus farming and carefully houses their beehives adjacent to the groves of trees so that the bees can busy themselves pollinating the trees and creating wonderful natural honey for us to enjoy!
Negohot’s Citrus Flower honey has a gorgeous amber color and is naturally sweet with hints of citrus.
This is the perfect honey to use to sweeten your tea, drizzle on toast and crackers, and even to use in cooking. It’s a wonderful glaze on vegetables and enhances the flavor of baked salmon and chicken.
Negohot Honey is natural and is never heated before packaging as heating honey can reduce its nutritional benefits in addition to dulling the flavor.
Honey tips:
Why does honey crystallize?
When your honey crystallizes it is one of the first indicators that you have the real deal, 100% pure honey from bees pollinating flowers versus eating sugar water. So why does it happen? The natural sugars in honey (glucose and fructose) bind together and start creating crystals. With natural honey, the pollen can speed this up a bit. It does not mean your honey is not good or has expired. Some people even hope for crystallization to happen because then you can your honey like candy, letting it melt in your mouth! It’s also perfect for tea in this state.
How can I make crystallized honey drizzle again?
We recommend against heating the honey directly, you don’t want to alter the taste or reduce the health benefits. Instead, fill a bowl with hot water and place your jar of honey in the warm bath and the crystals will melt and you will once again be able to drizzle your honey!
