Clover Honey

Characteristics of clover honey

Clover honey is produced from the nectar collected by bees during the flowering of different species belonging to the Trifolium genus, including white clover, Egyptian clover and crimson clover.

When liquid, it has a very pale, sometimes almost transparent colour. After crystallisation, it generally becomes milky white or ivory and develops a smooth, creamy texture with fine crystals.

Its aroma is delicate, vegetal and lightly floral, with hints of white flowers. Its flavour is sweet and mild, with distinctive notes that may recall milk sweets, ripe banana and fresh legumes.

How to use it in the kitchen

Thanks to its delicate flavour, clover honey is ideal for sweetening tea, herbal infusions, coffee and yoghurt without overpowering their taste. It can be enjoyed on bread or used in desserts, creams and fruit salads.

It also pairs well with fresh, mild cheeses such as ricotta, goat’s cheese and feta. Its colour, texture and aromatic intensity may naturally vary according to the clover species present and the characteristics of each harvest.
