Orange Blossom Honey 500g

Cortijo Cornelio is in Colmenar. Colmenar means "beehive" and the whole area of the Montes of Malaga has been famous for its bees and honey for centuries. Colmenar houses a Honey museum and a vibrant honey industry dating back to Roman and Arab times.

Here, Cornelio presents you with a unique organic honey, from our neighbours Finca Carvajal, whose beehives are situated in the Nature Reserve of the Montes de Malaga, the Sierra de las Nieves and on the lands of Cortijo Cornelio.

This honey is produced by bees that live in the quiet Orange groves of Finca Carvajal in southern Malaga province. It has a light colour, an aroma of Orange and a light delicate citrus flavour, quite unique in the world. This is a special honey coming from an entirely protected nature reserve and a very special species of bee. The proprietors of Finca Carvajal are professional beekeepers and breeders of queens.

Their bees are a classical Iberian species that hasn't evolved or been crossbred. It has remained intact as a species for several million years, having survived the ice ages of northern Europe that didn't affect southern Spain. This truly is honey, as it always tasted!
