In years when wild mint blossoms abundantly in wetland areas, the honey has an intense minty aroma and is marketed as mint honey. When there are fewer mint blossoms, the honey has a lower concentration of mint nectar and is marketed as marshland honey. Mint honey is not a common type of honey. In Romania it is mainly available along the Danube river and the Danube Delta; and in Italy in the sub-alpine area. Mint honey remains liquid for a long time.
In Argentina, wild mint honey is produced in the Pampa region of northern Patagonia, and has an exceptional, extremely fine, buttery texture. In Vietnam, the northern Dong Van region is famous for its mint honey.
Mint honey crystallizes faster or slower, depending on the abundance of other plants in the area. As it crystallizes, it gets a lighter colour. It is an intense honey, with a strong minty smell, taste and aftertaste.
