Monofloral mesquite honey (Prosopis spp.) harvested in Guanajuato. It exhibits a very light color (from water white to very pale amber), a mild aroma, and sweet, buttery notes. The “almost white” hue is characteristic of mesquite nectar and does not come from white petals; mesquite flowers are yellow-green catkins. This honey crystallizes quickly into fine crystals, resulting in a thick, creamy texture that is highly appreciated.
Packaging: Food-grade pail 28 kg / 19 L
Origin: Guanajuato, Mexico
Bloom: Mesquite (Prosopis spp.) — yellow-green catkin flowers; main harvest during spring–summer.
Color (referencia comercial): de water white a blanco/ámbar muy claro. Textura: Espesa, con cristalización fina y rápida (cremosa).
Flavor/Aroma: Mild and sweet with buttery undertones; slightly citrusy finish depending on region and season.
Recommended use: Baking, confectionery, beverages, sauces, and applications requiring stable sweetness and creamy body.
Handling: Crystallization is natural and a sign of purity. To restore fluidity, warm gently using indirect heat (for example, place the container in warm water around the pail, avoiding direct flame or overheating).
Mesquite honey ranks among the lightest in the world, often classified as water white/white grades. This is due to the nectar’s high fructose-to-glucose ratio, which also explains its fast micro-crystal formation.
