Unlike other honeys, Convivia honeydew honey does not come from flower nectar. In this case, bees collect a sugary substance produced by insects such as aphids, whiteflies, and metcalfes, which feed on the sap of trees such as citrus, chestnut, fig, mulberry, pine, and fir. . Very dark in color, almost black, this honey is distinguished by its dense and stable consistency: it does not crystallize, always remaining fluid. The taste is strong and not very sweet with bitter and balsamic notes.
