1. Our raw honey of a thousand flowers
The honey of a thousand flowers is the most common and consumed. However, this does not detract from the fact that it stands out in the same way as the others. Among the most important characteristics of this honey, we have the following:
a) Color
First of all, the raw honey of a thousand flowers has no fixed color. In addition this varies depending on the year and the zone, because it depends on the flora that proceeds. Also, it usually comes from some source with myelates, so it often takes darker colors.
b) Aroma
The aroma of this honey stands out for its powerful and forceful taste with floral notes. When savouring these types of honey, it produces sweet sensations with light acid or salty notes.
c) Flowering and harvesting
Therefore, this honey does not have a single source, unlike single-flower honeys. That is to say, the honey that has been elaborated from numerous natural sources, without being any of them predominant. For this reason, the honey from my flowers or multifloral is collected throughout the entire productive period of the bees, from spring to autumn.

Our honey of a thousand flowers has nothing to do with the honey of Mercadona or hacendado. Our honey has much more flavor and aroma. Therefore, it is a real honey.
d) Collection of honey from a thousand flowers:
Thousand flower honey is harvested in June and July. Unlike the mountain honeys that are harvested in the following months. These honeys can have very dark colors and similar to the naked eye, but their taste, aroma and characteristics are totally different.
Multi-flower honey comes mostly from flower nectars. Mountain honey, on the other hand, has a high mineral content because it comes from the honeyates of trees and shrubs.
The same colour in multi-flower honeys is due to the nectars and pollen of the flowers collected by bees. The chestnut and blackberry give very dark tones to the honeys.
Another characteristic that differentiates the thousand flower honeys from the mountain honeys is their electrical conductivity. The higher the electrical conductivity, the higher the mineral content and the less sweet. The mountain has an electrical conductivity always much higher than that of a thousand flowers.
f) Destination population

After two years, it should not exceed 40 mg/Kg MHF.
