Among the most refined creations of Maison Dessis, black truffle acacia honey holds a place apart. This marriage of the floral sweetness of honey and the woody depth of Provence black truffle makes a gourmet condiment as surprising as it is versatile.
An exceptional honey, gathered under the Vaucluse sun
Acacia honey is among the most delicate varieties: light colour, fluid texture, a natural sweetness almost without acidity. Harvested in the Vaucluse, where the sunny climate and generous vegetation give bees a particularly rich acacia nectar, this honey also stands out for its nutritional qualities: rich in antioxidants and easy to digest, a true daily health ally.
Black truffle, the black diamond of gastronomy
Harvested in winter from the limestone soils of the Vaucluse, black truffle (Tuber melanosporum) is one of the most sought-after ingredients in French haute cuisine. Its powerful, woody aroma pairs with a remarkable variety of ingredients — including, unexpectedly, the sweetness of a floral honey.
An artisan blend, a perfect balance
At Maison Dessis, truffle pieces are folded into the honey with meticulous care, so that every spoonful reveals the right balance between floral and earthy. A product that reflects both local know-how and the richness of the Provençal terroir.
How to use it in the kitchen
Savoury: a few drops are enough to transform a board of aged cheeses (brie, comté, fresh goat cheese), enhance a duck breast or lift roasted vegetables.
Sweet: drizzle over vanilla or hazelnut ice cream, top a toast or pancakes at breakfast, or fold into a financier batter for a subtly luxurious touch.
Storage
Store the jar away from light and humidity, at room temperature. Avoid heating it to a high temperature, which would alter the delicate truffle aromas. Slight crystallization is normal — stir gently before use.
