Eucalipto - Eucalyptus honey
Eucalyptus honey is a single-flowered type of honey produced by honey bees that pollinate the flowers of the eucalyptus tree. Single-flowered means that the nectar collected by the honeybees comes exclusively from one plant species.
It is characterised by a darker colour and an intense flavour and fragrance and is particularly recommended for viral respiratory infections as it has high antioxidant and antimicrobial properties. It is an excellent remedy for the relief of respiratory diseases such as bronchitis or asthma.
"The eucalyptol compound that gives eucalyptus honey (and other products derived from the eucalyptus plant such as essential oil and royal jelly) its characteristic aroma and flavour is itself a powerful anti-inflammatory agent, which adds to the healing power of this honey.
Eucalyptus honey is often used with great efficacy to treat coughs and colds as well as upper respiratory infections; some studies have shown it to be more effective than cough syrups for sore throats, the menthol-like properties of eucalyptus make it an excellent decongestant, and it has a strong expectorant effect. Some believe that eucalyptus honey may eventually prove useful as a first-line treatment for more severe respiratory conditions." (https://diethive.com/eucalyptus-honey/)
In terms of taste, it is a honey that might be perceived as "too strong" for its flavour, especially in Northern Europe where we are used to lighter and sweeter flavours and varieties such as acacia honey. Eucalyptus honey is semi-sweet, with a hint of menthol and an earthy flavour. It has a high fructose content, which makes it crystallise quickly.
