Provence honey

Provence honey is one of the many local produce for which the area is well known, it is particularly rich in flavour.

It is easy to see why the honey produced in the Provence area of France tastes so fantastic. When you get off the beaten track in Provence, either on foot or bicycle you come across beehives all over the place, many of them brightly coloured, reflecting the mentality of the locals.

Hives are set amidst fields amass with wild flowers, who’s heady scents fill the air which positively throbs in the heat of the blazing sun. In the hills and mountains of Provence the air is fresh and pure and the bees thrive on nectar which is produced in such abundance in this natural “garden”.

For many years the people of Provence have produced honey and integrated it into the local cuisine. Honey is one of the great ingredients of Provencal dishes even today. You will find reasonably priced, locally produced honey on sale in the markets and on roadside stands as well as in the shops throughout the region.
