Orange is the most widely grown citrus fruit (70% of world citrus production) and the fourth most cultivated fruit on the planet after banana, watermelon and apple.

In principle, orange blossom honey is produced wherever there are large enough groves of orange trees to ensure monofloral honey. In the Mediterranean Basin and Brazil, it is one of the most common types of honey.

It is a highly aromatic, floral honey with a strong citrus blossom smell and taste. It is the sweetest of the citrus honeys.

It crystallizes much more slowly than other citrus honeys (mandarin, lemon, bergamot), taking on a creamy texture.
