Toros Dağı Sedir Balı is a strained honeydew honey produced by the Turkish brand Toros Dağı Bal. It is obtained in mountainous areas covered with Taurus cedar forests. Unlike flower honey, its main raw material is not floral nectar. Small insects living on cedar trees feed on plant sap and produce sweet honeydew. Bees collect this honeydew, carry it to their hives and transform it into honey. Its production depends on temperature, rainfall and insect populations, so the available quantity can vary between seasons. The product has a dark color, thick consistency and slow-flowing texture. Its flavor is balanced and moderately sweet, with woody, resinous and mildly spicy notes. After harvesting, the honey is strained to remove pieces of wax and other solid particles. It can be served on its own or with bread, cheese or yogurt and used to sweeten beverages and prepare desserts.
