MIEL DE RHODODENDRON

Nicknamed "the acacia of the mountains”, rhododendron honey is a rare and prized honey due to its limited production. It is distinguished by its light color (golden yellow in its liquid state, white after slow crystallization due to its high fructose content) and its refined taste reminiscent of mountains and flowering meadows. Its light, delicate aroma is evident. It's sweet, floral flavor with a woody finish. French rhododendron honey is harvested mainly in summer.

This honey contains many balanced trace elements and potentially erlose. It is believed to have antirheumatic and skin-toning properties.

A former cereal farm located in the commune of Bouglon in the Lot-et-Garonne region, the Malescot estate has been transformed into an organic beekeeping operation dedicated to creating an ideal environment for bees. This conversion, the result of a long transition, involves daily work selecting honey-producing plants, maintaining plots, and planting hedges, aiming to recreate a natural ecosystem requiring human intervention. The state has also integrated a honey production and processing unit to ensure optimal traceability and limit travel.
