Organic Cherry Honey 500g

Immerse yourself in the authentic flavour of Italian spring with our Organic Cherry Honey, presented in a handy 500 gram format. This rare and precious monofloral honey is the fruit of the meticulous work of bees that collect nectar from the white cherry blossoms (Prunus avium), which bloom between April and May in the picturesque Italian countryside and hills. ​ Origin and Organic Certification: Coming exclusively from apiaries located in uncontaminated areas of the Italian territory, this honey is certified organic. This means that it is produced in full respect of nature and the well-being of bees, without the use of pesticides, herbicides or chemical treatments. The bees are fed naturally and the entire production process, from harvesting to bottling, is done using artisanal and cold methods, preserving all the organoleptic and nutritional properties of the honey intact. ​ Organoleptic Characteristics: Color: At harvest it generally appears from light amber to dark amber, with reflections that can tend to yellowish or orange. With crystallization, which is relatively rapid and natural for this type of honey, it takes on lighter shades, from ivory white to beige.​ Consistency: This honey tends to crystallize quickly forming a mass with fine or medium-sized crystals. Its consistency can vary from pasty and creamy, if worked to make it more spreadable, to more compact and grainy if left to crystallize naturally.​ Perfume: The aromatic bouquet is of medium intensity, delicate but recognizable. Floral scents typical of cherry blossom can be perceived, often accompanied by fruity notes reminiscent of bitter almond or the scent of cherry stones, and sometimes even hints of vanilla or marzipan.​ Taste: On the palate it is sweet, but with a pleasant freshness and a slightly fruity and delicately bitter aftertaste that recalls the typical flavour of cherry and almond. It is not overly cloying, making it a balanced and versatile honey.​ Pairings and Recommended Uses: Cherry Honey is a true gastronomic jewel that lends itself to various uses: Breakfast: Perfect for sweetening yogurt, cereals, or simply spread on fresh bread, biscuits or pancakes, offering an aromatic and nutritious start to the day.​ Beverages: Excellent for sweetening tea, infusions and herbal teas, to which it gives a delicate aroma without covering the other notes.​ Cuisine: It pairs beautifully with fresh or medium-aged cheeses, such as robiola, ricotta or mountain cheeses, creating a harmonious contrast between sweetness and savouriness. ANDalso excellent for confectionery preparations, such as cakes, tarts or for glazing fruit, and can be used in sweet and sour sauces to accompany white meats.​ Beneficial Properties: Like all natural honeys, cherry honey is a readily available source of energy, rich in vitamins, minerals and enzymes. Traditionally, it is attributed with purifying, detoxifying and diuretic properties, as well as being an excellent adjuvant in cases of cough and sore throat. ​ Our 500g Organic Italian Cherry Honey is more than just a sweetener: it is a sensory experience that captures the essence of Italian spring blooms, bringing a piece of unspoiled nature and a unique and unforgettable flavor to your table.
