The bouquet of Thistle Cardoon Honey is characterized by scents of chrysanthemums and daisies, earth, peat, and cut bark, with a finish dominated by the pungent and singular notes of macerated flower stems. On the palate, it is moderately sweet and slightly astringent, with a fresh vegetal note.

The milk used to make Tronchon cheese, cited by Cervantes in his famous work, Don Quixote, was curdled with cardoon flowers
