Active ingredients guide

Natural honey: varieties, origin and tips for choosing it

Honey is made by honey bees (Apis mellifera) from flower nectar or honeydew, a sweet liquid that certain insects leave on the leaves and needles of trees. The bees transform it, dehydrate it and then store it in the cells of the hive.

In the European Union, the word “honey” is protected: a directive defines its composition and prohibits adding anything to it. A product sold as honey is therefore always a natural product, with no added sugar or additives. Its country of origin must appear on the label.

A product of the hive

Made by bees, with no added ingredients whatsoever.

Nectar or honeydew

Two origins that give blossom honeys or forest honeys.

Hundreds of varieties

Each flower visited gives a honey with a different taste.

Composition

What does honey contain?

Honey is above all a highly concentrated sugar solution, which also contains many compounds in small amounts:

Sugars

Mainly fructose and glucose, in proportions that vary with the flower.

Water

In small amounts: regulations set a limit, generally 20%.

Pollen, enzymes and aromas

Pollen makes it possible to identify the floral origin; aromatic compounds give each honey its taste.

Types of honey

Monofloral, wildflower, raw or organic honey: how to tell them apart?

A monofloral honey comes mainly from a single plant species: acacia, chestnut, lime blossom, thyme, orange blossom, eucalyptus… A “wildflower” or polyfloral honey, by contrast, reflects the diversity of a landscape. Fir honey is a honeydew honey: dark, less sweet on the palate, with malty, resinous notes.

Runny, creamy or set, a honey crystallises more or less quickly depending on its glucose content: acacia honey stays runny for a long time, while others set within a few weeks. The term “raw honey” is not regulated; it generally refers to a honey that has not been heated. Organic honey comes from apiaries located in areas of organic crops or wild vegetation, managed according to organic farming specifications.

What research says

What does science say about honey?

Researchers are interested in the composition of different honeys, particularly their polyphenols and aromatic compounds, and in the methods of analysing pollen and sugars used to authenticate the floral and geographical origin of a honey.

To date, no health claim relating to honey is authorised in the European Union. This research therefore does not allow any particular effect to be attributed to honey. Important reminder: honey must not be given to children under one year of age.

Buying guide

How to choose a natural honey?

The origin

The country of harvest must appear on the label; be wary of blends with vague origins.

The variety

Mild and light (acacia, lime blossom) or strong and dark (chestnut, fir): choose according to your taste.

The organic label

It governs the location of the apiaries and the beekeeper’s practices.

Storage

At room temperature, in a dry place away from heat. Crystallisation does not affect its quality.

Frequently asked questions

Honey FAQ

What is natural honey?

Under European regulations, any product sold under the name “honey” must be entirely natural, with no added sugar, flavouring or preservative.

Why does my honey crystallise?

It is a natural phenomenon linked to glucose, which forms small crystals. It changes neither the quality nor the taste of the honey; a lukewarm bain-marie is enough to make it runny again.

What is the difference between blossom honey and forest honey?

Blossom honey comes from nectar. Forest honey, such as fir honey, comes mainly from honeydew collected on trees; it is darker and less sweet.

Where can I buy organic honey?

From a beekeeper, in organic shops or online. At NATURAMedicatrix, you will find seven organic honeys: acacia, chestnut, lime blossom, fir, thyme, orange blossom and eucalyptus.
