Medokom Med lipový
Lime-blossom honey from the Czech company Medokom with a distinct menthol note, in 250–900 g jars.
Medokom Med lipový is a lime-blossom honey that the bees gather from the nectar of linden flowers. Medokom describes its taste as very strong and menthol-like, the trait by which lime honey is easily recognised; every batch shares a slightly bitter taste with the typical scent of lime blossom. The company links the menthol tone to the essential oils of the flowers. The colour is usually light to amber and varies with the flow, origin and season; next to forest honeys it is lighter. It is a summer honey, gathered when the limes bloom, and crystallises at a medium pace. Packs: 250 g, 500 g and 900 g.
Why this matters to you: its menthol freshness and slight bitterness set this jar apart from the same producer's milder flower honey.
