Garrigue Honey

The quintessential small honey producer! Rucher Vahé, beekeeper and honey producer in Vinsobres, invites you to discover the delights of the apiary. With harvests following the blooming seasons, the apiary offers high-quality honeys with incomparable flavors... The family-run operation has been carrying on this tradition for several generations, ensuring products of exceptional quality.

Rucher Vahé offers a variety of honeys classified according to the different regions where the bees forage. In spring, the hives are placed in Isère, where the bees feed on acacia, producing honey of unmatched delicacy. In Ardèche, they collect nectar from chestnut trees, giving the honey a slight bitterness that delights connoisseurs' palates. Finally, in their home region, the Drôme, the bees produce lavender honey and garrigue honey with captivating aromas.

Indulge in this garrigue honey, a treasure from the Mediterranean region! The bees forage on flowers and melliferous plants, resulting in honey that truly reflects this unique ecosystem, offering bold, full-bodied, and lasting flavors. The harvest of garrigue honey is unpredictable due to the warm climate and the bees' difficulty in finding enough flowers to feed on. Once harvested, this honey keeps well at room temperature, preserving all its quality.

Its composition is the result of a variety of flowers and melliferous plants such as thyme, white heather, blackberry bramble, white clover, asphodel, savoury, lavender, and rosemary. These emblematic plants of the Mediterranean region give garrigue honey its distinctive aromas. Rosemary adds sweetness, thyme offers a powerful flavor and medicinal properties, while lavender provides a fruity and gently lingering sweetness on the palate. Other melliferous plants such as savoury, oregano, and horehound also contribute to this symphony of flavors. Let yourself be enchanted by the unique taste of garrigue honey, evoking the beauty and diversity of Provence!

Imagine savoring this honey with your family during a delicious breakfast or any other setting perfect for sharing and conviviality.
