Orange Blossom Honey For Backsweetening Mead - 12 oz

Craft bright, citrus-forward meads with this 12 oz Orange Blossom Honey, harvested from bees pollinating sweet orange blossoms. Its straw-colored appearance and natural blend of floral and zesty orange notes make it ideal for refining flavor balance in finished meads. This honey integrates smoothly into stabilized batches and enhances both aroma and mouthfeel without masking the base honey profile.

The citrus and floral components complement a wide range of mead styles, adding depth to session meads, melomels, and traditional orange blossom meads. Many meadmakers use it to lift aromatics, round out acidity, or restore sweetness after a dry fermentation. Its clean, bright character makes it particularly useful in recipes that benefit from a subtle fruit accent.

Packaged in a 12 oz bottle, it is sized to backsweeten approximately one gallon of mead with precise control over sweetness and flavor intensity. It blends easily and can also be used in honey beers or custom honey blends where a citrus-floral note is desired. When backsweetening, pair with potassium sorbate and potassium metabisulfite to help prevent re-fermentation.

This honey is well suited for home fermenters seeking consistent results and a naturally expressive citrus-floral finish in their mead.
