Colour varies by year and place; the value given is typical of the variety, not a measurement of one jar. Where a source describes the colour only in words (such as ‘light amber’), we convert it to the middle of the matching band of the Pfund scale, so the figure is approximate. The season follows the sources or, failing that, the flowering time of the plant in that area.

The „Miel de Málaga“ rules require avocado honey to be darker than 80 mm on the Pfund scale and to contain at least 20% avocado pollen.
