Orange honey is a type of honey primarily derived from the nectar of orange blossoms. It’s a monofloral honey, meaning it's mostly made from one type of flower—in this case, the orange tree (Citrus sinensis). Here's a breakdown of its key characteristics:

🍊 Flavor Profile

• Light and sweet with citrus overtones

• Often has a mild floral aroma and a hint of orange zest

• Not overly strong or pungent—very smooth and delicate

🍯 Color

• Usually light amber to pale golden

• Can darken slightly over time or with exposure to heat

🐝 Origin

• Commonly produced in regions with abundant citrus groves like Florida, California, and Spain

• Bees collect nectar when the orange trees bloom—typically in spring

• Popular in salad dressings, glazes, and even cosmetics

• Its gentle citrus flavor complements both sweet and savory dishes
