Also called Daghmouss in Berber, it is one of the rarest and most sought-after honeys in Morocco. Non-pasteurized, no additives. Fast delivery in Belgium and France.
Why Moroccan euphorbia honey is unique
Origin: Aït Baâmrane, southwestern Morocco – this desert and sunny region, on the edge of the Atlantic Sahara, is home to wild euphorbia that grows in extreme conditions, thus concentrating exceptional aromatic and nutritional richness in its nectar
Intense dark amber color – its deep brownish-amber hue is the visual signature of its richness in polyphenols and aromatic compounds derived from the euphorbia, which are far more concentrated than in ordinary flower honey
Powerful and slightly pungent flavor – an intense, characteristic taste with complex aromas of resin and warm earth, with a slight spicy note at the finish that surprises and delights lovers of strong honeys
Very limited production – the euphorbia only grows in specific arid zones of Morocco. Its blooming period is short and the harvesting is entirely artisanal, making it one of the rarest Moroccan honeys sought after by connoisseurs
Non-pasteurized, no additives – harvested and packaged according to traditional Moroccan methods, without heating or processing, preserving all of its natural enzymes and active ingredients
Benefits of euphorbia honey
Recognized respiratory support – euphorbia honey is one of the most renowned honeys in the Moroccan and Arab tradition for helping to clear the respiratory tract, soothe chronic coughs, and relieve the bronchi
Natural anti-inflammatory – its richness in polyphenols and flavonoids gives it powerful anti-inflammatory properties, useful for inflammation of the mucous membranes and the digestive tract
Powerful antioxidant – its dark color is directly linked to its high concentration of polyphenols, the primary antioxidants that protect cells against oxidative stress and premature aging
Digestive comfort – traditionally used to soothe gastric pain, ulcers, and digestive disorders, thanks to its antibacterial and soothing properties on intestinal mucous membranes
Immunity and vitality – its exceptional concentration of natural enzymes, minerals, and antioxidants makes it a natural tonic that strengthens the body's defenses
Natural antibacterial – like all dark honeys with a high polyphenol content, it exhibits natural antibacterial activity superior to light honeys, which is beneficial for healing and protection against infections
How to enjoy euphorbia honey?
Enjoy it pure by the spoonful to appreciate the full complexity of its powerful and slightly pungent flavor – a unique taste experience that surprises with every bite. It is delicious in warm herbal tea (below 40°C), paired with hard cheeses, spread on toasted country bread, or incorporated into sweet and savory oriental dishes.
Tip: Its strong and pungent character may be surprising on the first taste. Start with a small teaspoon to get used to its intense aromas. For a respiratory wellness regimen, combine it with our Ethiopian black seed oil – two natural remedies recognized in Arab tradition for the respiratory tract.
Origin and traceability
Euphorbia (Euphorbia resinifera and related species) is a succulent plant endemic to the arid regions of Morocco. In the Aït Baâmrane region – Sidi Ifni province, between the Anti-Atlas and the Atlantic – it grows in the wild on rocky plateaus exposed to intense sun. Local beekeepers, heirs to ancestral Berber know-how, place their hives as close as possible to these wild euphorbias during their short blooming period.
Like all our rare honeys, this honey is selected for its purity and traceability. It is 100% natural, non-pasteurized, and free of any additives. Its dark color, texture, and aromatic intensity vary slightly from one harvest to another – that is the signature of an authentically artisanal product.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is euphorbia honey so dark and strong in taste?
Its dark amber color and intense taste are directly linked to the richness of euphorbia nectar in polyphenols and aromatic compounds. Generally speaking, the darker the honey, the richer it is in antioxidants. The pungent character comes from the natural resins of the euphorbia which are found in trace amounts in the nectar - it is its unique and inimitable signature.
What is "Daghmouss"?
Daghmouss is the Berber name for euphorbia (Euphorbia resinifera) in the southwestern Moroccan region. It is also the name given to the honey derived from it. This name is an indicator of authenticity and geographical origin: a true Daghmouss honey must come from the areas where this euphorbia grows in the wild, mainly around Aït Baâmrane and Sidi Ifni.
Is euphorbia honey recommended for the respiratory tract?
Yes, it is one of its best-known uses in Moroccan and Arab tradition. It is renowned for helping to clear the airways, soothe coughs, and support the bronchi. This reputation is linked to its richness in polyphenols and its natural anti-inflammatory properties. These benefits are derived from tradition and do not replace medical treatment.
How should this honey be stored?
At room temperature, away from light and heat (below 25°C). Never store in the refrigerator - the cold accelerates crystallization. If the honey crystallizes, place the jar in a warm water bath (maximum 40°C) to soften it without altering its properties.
Do you deliver to Belgium and France?
Yes, we deliver to Belgium and France with dispatch within 24 to 48 hours, in careful packaging to protect the jar. Delivery is free for purchases over €50.
Warning: The benefits mentioned are based on tradition and scientific literature. This product can in no way replace medical treatment. In case of doubt, allergy, or health issues, consult your doctor. Not recommended for infants under one year old.
