Echium honey

Echium is a plant with a two-year life cycle. It has purple trumpet-shaped flowers, and it is also known as “honeysucker” since its flowers, if sucked, are sweet and taste like honey.

The flowers of this plant have multiple medicinal uses. The honey is light in colour, rather yellow. It has a very sweet, very pleasant taste, and honey lovers hold it in high esteem for its flavour.

It has a floral aroma, persistent but not very intense. Its crystallization is slow and in fine crystals. It is a monofloral honey that is very difficult to obtain, which is why it is quite unknown, but it has an exquisite flavour.
