BIO Mielizia Honey Bosco Jar 300g

Organic honey, together for biodiversity, Italian Bosco honey, unpasteurized, Lazio and Tuscany, 300g glass jar. Liquid and slightly viscous honey, with amber colour, very intense and dark, with various intensity gradations and slight shades ranging from red to brown. The forest honey has an intense, vegetal and fruity aroma that reminds of cooked fruit, the scent of dried apricots, caramel and fig jam. The taste is reminiscent of carob, rhubarb and liquorice stick. It is slightly sweet and has a silky and velvety texture, with good persistence. It is also called "honey of honeydew" and is the only honey that does not come from the nectar of flowers, but from honeydew, that is to say the sugar secretion emitted by insects such as the pruinose meatball or other rumbling homoptera that suck the sap of trees absorbing its nitrogenous substances. Our forest honey is harvested at the end of summer, in the wooded areas of various regions, from North to South Italy: Piedmont, Emilia Romagna and Abruzzo. The line MIELIZIA BIO - TOGETHER FOR BIODIVERSITY is born from the long experience that the beekeepers of Conapi have with respect to the biological breeding techniques of bees. Our beekeepers' hives are placed away from sources of pollution and the bees are raised in total respect of their biorhythms, cared for with natural systems to defend them against diseases. Mielizia honey is not pasteurized: it is produced at a temperature never higher than 40°c, the temperature of the hive, to keep intact taste, perfume and nutritional principles. Honeydew honey has in common the very dark colour, until it looks almost black. It is a honey that tends to remain liquid for a long time and has a caramelized, malted taste with a degree of sweetness less strong than nectar honeys, although lacking the bitter note. Production areas: Our forest honey is harvested at the end of summer, in the wooded areas of various regions, from North to South Italy: Piedmont, Emilia Romagna and Abruzzo Colour: very dark, almost black. Crystallization: liquid, usually not crystallising. Smell: of medium intensity, vegetable, fruity and caramelized. Opening a jar you can smell green tomato jam and very cooked jam. Decidedly devoid of the flower aromas that characterize most other honeys. Taste: Velvety texture, dense and tough, which is not found in any other honey because it has a slightly less sweet taste that leaves on the palate a less powerful aftertaste. Sometimes slightly salty, it has a taste of medium intensity, not very sweet, of malt, cooked vegetables, prunes, cane sugar. Uses: is a special honey, which can be used to sweeten and flavour milk and dairy products even for those who do not usually prefer honey. For its aroma, the particular consistency and resistance to cooking is also suitable to replace caramel in many different preparations that provide it. Excellent with ricotta mousse, mascarpone and fresh dairy products, also served slightly intrepidity. Particularly suitable for bitter teas and black tea.
