The four ingredients of the blend
Jujube honey forms the base. Made from the nectar of jujube blossom, it is among the most sought-after honeys: dark amber colour, powerful flavour with notes of caramel and date, smooth texture. It carries the whole blend.
Ginger brings its spicy warmth and pungent edge, which answers the sweetness of the honey well. Royal jelly, secreted by nurse bees and intended for the queen, adds its characteristic tangy note. Organic maca (Lepidium meyenii), a root grown on the high plateaux of the Peruvian Andes, completes the set with an earthy, slightly malty flavour.
Four traditions in one jar
Each of these ingredients carries its own heritage. The jujube is the tree of sidr honey, one of the most prestigious in the Arab world. Ginger has travelled the spice routes since Antiquity and holds a central place in the cuisines of Asia and the Middle East.
Royal jelly is the rarest of bee products: a great deal of work yields very little. Maca has been grown for centuries above 4,000 metres in Peru, where it is part of traditional Andean food. Bringing these four materials together means putting three continents in conversation.
How to enjoy this blend
By the spoonful
The most direct way. A teaspoon in the morning, as you would take a spoonful of honey. The taste is bold: honey, spice, earth and a tangy edge.
In a lukewarm drink
Stir a spoonful into warm milk, an infusion or a cooled tea. Never pour it into a boiling liquid, as that would alter the honey and the royal jelly.
On bread
Its intensity holds up well against good bread. An alternative to plain honey for those who like bold flavours.
The taste
Powerful and composite: the caramelised base of the jujube, the warmth of the ginger, the earthy, malty side of the maca, the tangy edge of the royal jelly. This is not a mild honey.
Storage
Keep the jar tightly closed, at room temperature, away from light, heat and humidity. Some ingredients in this blend, notably royal jelly, are heat-sensitive: avoid leaving the jar near a heat source and never pour it into a boiling liquid. Partial crystallisation is possible and does not spoil the product.
