As mandarin groves are much smaller than orange ones, mandarin monofloral honey is also more difficult to produce. Honey made from several types of citrus is often marketed as orange blossom honey, but it also contains nectar/pollen from lemon or mandarin trees.

It is an aromatic, floral, very smooth, creamy honey. It crystallizes quickly, turning pale yellow in colour.
