Good to know
Before you pour.
From floral notes to golden pairings, a few things worth knowing about León Y Sol Saffron Honey.
What does saffron honey taste like?
Floral and lightly sweet from the star thistle, with a warm, slightly earthy saffron finish. It is aromatic rather than heavy, so it works in drinks without taking over.
How do you use saffron honey in cocktails?
Stir it with an equal amount of warm water to make a syrup, then use it anywhere you would use simple syrup or agave. It is the base of our Sol y Soda and works well in margaritas, sours and warm drinks.
What should I pair saffron honey with?
Soft and aged cheeses, roasted or grilled fruit, yogurt, ice cream, pastries and black or green tea. It also pairs with León Y Sol Blanco and NeQuila.
Why did my honey crystallize?
Crystallization is natural for real honey and is not a sign that it has gone bad. Warm the closed bottle in a bowl of warm water and it will turn clear again.
Is it gluten free? Is it vegan?
It contains no gluten ingredients. It is not vegan because it is honey.
