Hives scented with citrus
On the east coast, in Poindimié, Nadia Kowen sets up her hives near the lemon tree plantations that scent the whole region in spring. This short but intense bloom gives a vivid, instantly recognisable honey.
A very short harvest window
The lemon trees only bloom for a few weeks: Nadia has to be ready to harvest at just the right moment, or risk the honey blending with nectar from surrounding tree species.
Freshness as a signature
OROA's lemon tree honey owes its liveliness to this demanding timing. Nadia Kowen has made it her specialty, offering a honey of immediate freshness, ideal for twisting an infusion.
