Miel d'eucalyptus

Miel d'eucalyptus is the one you reach for when you want a honey with a sharper, more medicinal edge than the usual floral jars. By our assessment, that eucalyptus note is the main point: it gives the product a clear identity and can be welcome in tea or on toast when plain sweetness is not enough. The downside is obvious too, because that same note can read as too strong or too herb-like for people who want a softer honey. In practice it is still a simple table honey, but one that announces itself as soon as the lid comes off. It sits among eucalyptus honeys, so the flavour is expected to be specific rather than crowd-pleasing. Miel d'eucalyptus is for a narrow taste, and the ceiling is that it does not pretend to be a gentle all-rounder.
