Summer Honey is amber to brown in colour and has a fresh sweet floral flavour of the Summer flowers, noticeably the sunflowers. During summer in France, especially in the South-West, summer honey generally consists of sunflower nectar. This Summer Honey is exactly the case, which makes it creamy and soft in texture while having a bit more sophisticated flavour and darker colour than Spring Honey.
 
Honey is very nutritious. It is good for the skin and has healing properties through ingestion or topical application. Summer Honey:
strengthens the immune system and helps with fatigue;
is particularly rich in minerals like calcium, which strengthens our bone density;
improves blood circulation by preserving the arteries from premature ageing and lowers the cholesterol levels;
is used to treat sore throats and coughs.
 
Summer Honey is often smooth in the mouth and has a hint of pleasant fruity aromas. A combination of caramel and melted butter might even be tasted. It is easy to spread and can be enjoyed on toast or pancakes. It can also replace sugar in cooking or sweeten all kinds of sauces with its floral flavours. Of course, you can mix a tablespoon of the Summer Honey with warm water every morning to start your day in a healthy way.
