Flower Pollen

Le Rayon d’Or, nestled in the unspoilt valleys of the French Pyrenees, has been producing raw, high-quality bee products for generations. Their fresh flower pollen is harvested from bees that forage in the garrigue—a wild Mediterranean scrubland rich in aromatic herbs and native flowers. This environment gives the pollen a unique nutritional and botanical diversity. Collected during peak blooming periods and immediately frozen to preserve its natural benefits, this pollen is prized not only for its taste but also for its richness in vitamins, amino acids, and antioxidants. It’s a traditional health food in many French households, often taken daily in spring and autumn.

The pollen comes in small, soft granules with a colour range from bright yellow to deep orange. It has a delicate herbal scent with subtle floral and earthy notes. On the tongue, it’s slightly chewy with a dry, grainy texture that becomes creamy as it melts. The taste is mild, lightly sweet, and faintly reminiscent of fresh hay or dried chamomile. It’s easy to incorporate into everyday meals and doesn’t overwhelm the palate.
