Serramel Mel de Rosmaninho
Wild French lavender (Lavandula stoechas) honey from Portugal's inland mountains, in 300 g, 500 g and 1100 g jars.
Serramel Mel de Rosmaninho is a monofloral honey from the Portuguese company Serramel. Its nectar comes from wild rosmaninho, the French lavender Lavandula stoechas, which covers large areas of the country's inland hills.
The producer lists where it is gathered: from Serra da Malcata southward along the Pônsul and Erges rivers, in inland Alentejo and the Algarve hills, and to the north on the banks of the Côa and in the uplands between the Tua and Sabor rivers. It is described as light in colour with a mild, aromatic taste, made and extracted in the traditional way. The English line on the label reads wild lavender honey. Jars: 300, 500 and 1100 g.
Why this matters to you: it is a way to taste Portuguese lavender honey from wild hillsides rather than from cultivated fields.
