Production area and period
During the flowering period, which lasts about 10 days, bees repeatedly dive into the calyxes overflowing with nectar, from morning to evening, without respite. This honey is harvested in spring in acacia woods, particularly in the Prealps, but it is found throughout the peninsula: Piedmont, Lombardy, Veneto, Friuli Venezia Giulia, Tuscany, Emilia-Romagna, Abruzzo, Campania, and Calabria.
Tips for use
As this is a liquid honey, it dissolves easily, making it perfect for sweetening tea, coffee and other drinks without altering their flavour. It’s ideal for making bottled or candied fruit, and also for mouthwatering salad dressings. It can be used in cake and bread doughs and for making fruit salads. It’s perfect not only with fresh cheeses but also with mature ricotta and lightly matured blue cheeses.
