Quality

Raw orange blossom honey from Sicily is generally considered a premium honey when:

• The only ingredient is honey.
• It’s labeled “raw” or minimally processed.
• The floral source (orange blossom) is specified.
• The origin is clearly identified as Sicily or Italy.

One thing to note: despite the name, orange blossom honey doesn’t taste like orange juice. Its citrus character comes mainly through the aroma and subtle floral notes.

If you’re comparing the lemon blossom and orange blossom honeys, orange blossom is usually slightly sweeter and more floral, while lemon blossom tends to be a bit lighter and more delicate. Both pair beautifully with Mediterranean foods and cheeses.
