Ibiza honey has the first Protected Designation of Origin (DOP) on the island, the first Protected Designation of Honey from the Balearic Islands , and the seventh in Spain.
The Ibizan-produced honey is collected just two times a year. Summer is the multi-flower honey season (including thyme flowers). Its main traits are its golden transparent color, incredible aroma, fluid texture, and the fact it does not crystallize. Meanwhile, winter is the collecting season for rosemary and heather honey.
Up till now, there are five manufacturers and four packers on the island that collect and pack close to 5,000 kg of honey a year:
- Mel de Can Marí / Sa Nostra Mel
- Can Romanins
- Mel Salewski
- Mel de Cas Mestres
- Juan Vicente Bonet Tur
Mel Certificada d’Eivissa is the guarantee mark that protects these manufacturers and packers.
