Morocco is rich in plants and flowers, and that diversity shows in its honey: each type has its own colour, aroma and taste, depending on the flowers the bees visited. In this guide we introduce the best-known Moroccan honeys to help you choose.
Thyme honey is one of the most prized and expensive honeys in Morocco. It is on the darker side and its aroma recalls wild thyme. Perfect if you like strong flavours. See thyme honey.
Sidr (jujube) honey is famous in Morocco and the Arab world for its amber colour, thick texture and rich taste that lingers. Many people take a spoonful in the morning. Sidr honey.
It comes from the euphorbia plant (dghmous) that grows in the dry south, around Essaouira and the Souss. Its signature is a light peppery sensation in the throat after tasting. Euphorbia honey.
A distinctive aroma and a fairly strong taste; many Moroccans prefer it in winter with hot drinks. Eucalyptus honey.
Bees collect it from many wild herbs, so its taste is rich and varied, neither too strong nor too light. A good choice for everyday breakfast. Wild herb honey.
From orange blossoms, it is pale, sweet and delicate. Ideal if you prefer a mild honey, and for pastries and yoghurt. Orange blossom honey.
From carob tree flowers, it is dark with a rich, fairly strong taste. Carob honey.
