1. Our raw eucalyptus honey
Firstly, we show you the most important characteristics of this raw eucalyptus honey:
a) Color
Raw Eucalyptus honey has a dark amber colour with greenish reflections. If it contains contributions from other plants, such as heather and broom, this honey takes darker colors. In addition, it takes on a brown earth colour when it crystallises.
b) Aroma
Its aroma is very characteristic, very intense and persistent. When tasted, it reminds us of the taste of wet wood. Likewise, its taste is sweet, with slight acidic and sometimes salty notes if it contains some broom or heather pollen.
Furthermore, we show you a video about eucalyptus
