Honey with an amber color and a rather compact and dense consistency. As the name suggests, this honey is produced by bees that take the nectar from the flowers of the plant of the same name. It tends to crystallize rapidly, usually within a few months, appearing in medium or fine crystals. Once crystallized, its color turns to grayish-beige.

The flavor is often described as persistent, strong, intense, particularly balsamic and not excessively sweet. On the nose recalls the smell of dried mushrooms, while the taste is comparable to licorice and malt.
