orange blossom honey

Floral citrus sweetener

Orange blossom honey is honey produced by bees that feed primarily on the nectar of orange tree flowers.

It has a light color and mild, subtly citrus flavor that distinguishes it from darker, stronger honeys like buckwheat.

Popular in the citrus-growing regions of Florida and California: I drizzled orange blossom honey over my yogurt.
