Miel - Marque nationale du Grand-Duché de Luxembourg is an [[AOP]] [[honey]] from Luxembourg which is distinguished from other [[honey]] by its individual character conferred by the bee forage specific to the region. It is a mixed flower [[honey]] with strong notes of white clover, [[fruit]] trees, greater bird's foot trefoil, melilot, dandelion and meadowsweet. The [[honey]] must not contain any foreign matter (e.g. [[sugar]]) and no imported [[honey]] may be added. It contains no residues, inhibines or prolines. It is hard in texture and must not be runny. There are no crystallisation defects and the [[honey]] is perfectly pure, homogeneous and of sustained aromatic quality. It is marketed only in 500g jars. | Miel - Marque nationale du Grand-Duché de Luxembourg is an [[AOP]] [[honey]] from Luxembourg which is distinguished from other [[honey]] by its individual character conferred by the bee forage specific to the region.
