French honeysuckle honey crystallises a few months after the harvest. It is very light in colour, almost white. It has a mild fragrance and a delicate taste with an agreable vegetable note.
 
Because of its delicate flavour, this honey is widely appreciated and can be used for anything.

The first references about this plant date back to 1600: of Spanish origin, it was used as an ornamental plant, perhaps due to the intense perfume that its carmine flowers give off. Nowadays it is cultivated as forage, especially in regions with heavy soil. It grows spontaneously practically anywhere and colonizes clay and subsaline soils.
