Sapore di Sole Organic Heather Honey

Heather honey has been used in Europe for a long time. It is one of the most aromatic and powerful varieties of honeys and is a favourite with gourmets. Bees collect the nectar for this honey in Tuscany from tree heather bushes (Erica Arborea). It ranges in colour from amber gold to dark brown. The flavour is characterised by floral notes combined with notes of caramel and liquorice. It crystallizes quickly and forms a soft mass with fine crystals.

The distinctive taste of the honey makes it fun to experiment with. In Italy it is often served with cheese, like, blue pecorino.
