The Canarian black bee, believed to have arrived in the archipelago around 200,000 years ago from Africa, has adapted perfectly to local ecosystems, becoming an endemic species that produces a unique honey. This honey is a treasure of Canarian nature, with a diversity reflecting the islands’ rich flora.
In the Canary Islands, honey production is an ancient tradition that has endured over the centuries. One of the most outstanding types of honey in the archipelago is Tenerife Honey, which holds Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) status, a recognition that guarantees the quality and authenticity of this precious product. Tenerife Honey is produced according to the flowers visited by the bees, offering a wide variety. There are monofloral honeys, made from characteristic plants of the region such as tajinaste, mango, avocado, or retama del Teide, as well as multifloral honeys resulting from various blossoms, capturing the botanical diversity of the island in each jar.
Tasting Canarian honey is an unparalleled sensory experience, with each variety surprising with flavour nuances derived from the unique environment where the nectar plants grow.
