What tamarind honey tastes like
The tamarind (Tamarindus indica) is a tall tree with fine foliage whose flowering varies from year to year. Its honey is one of the rarest in our collection.
Manon Xowie keeps her hives in Yaté, in the deep south, at the foot of tamarind trees that are sometimes a century old, in a forest terroir untouched by intensive farming. Every year she works around their irregular bloom to bring in a harvest worthy of this terroir.
Where our tamarind honey comes from
Yaté, the deep south
New Caledonia's deep south, around Yaté, is a sparsely populated, preserved land of red earth, rivers and forests. Its century-old tamarind trees set their own pace.
