Palm honey is the syrup obtained from the sap of the native Canarian palm (Phoenix canariensis). It is typical from the island of La Gomera and it can be used in a lot of ways. It is darker than typical bee-honey, less dense and richer in vitamines. It has a unique aroma reminiscent of maple syrup. About 10 liters of fresh palm sap are needed to produce one liter of this sought after product. This palm honey has been traditionally elaborated without preservatives or artificial colouring. It is collected in a sustainable way as the native palm is not killed when the honey is extracted. Just as bee honey it is used as a sweetener for tea and other hot drinks. It is often spread on fresh cheese or traditional desserts, such as "leche asada", "frangollo", "quesillo", or as a topping for banana flambe. It is mixed with the Canarian roasted flour called "gofio" and served as a delicious dessert. Some Canarian restaurants use it as a topping for salads and meat. CANARIUS offers different types of Gofio and also Frangollo, which can be combined with palm honey. You can also buy living plants of Phoenix canariensis, the palm species that is used to make this unique "honey". It is native to the Canary Islands but it is resistant to moderate frosts and grows as a fine ornamental palm. |
