Acacia honey
One of the lightest types of honey, in liquid form it is almost colorless or light straw-colored. It has the form of a thick syrup and its taste is extremely mild. Acacia honey is very sweet and eagerly eaten by children. Its fragrance is intense but pleasant. You can feel the aroma of acacia flowers in it. Due to the high content of fructose, honey crystallization is very slow. It happens that even one year after the date of bottling, the honey may still be in a semi-liquid form. After the crystallization process, the honey turns cream or yellow.
