In short
Pollen arrives at the hive in compact pellets, and each pellet has the color of the flower it comes from: in the same jar you can find yellow, orange, brown, sometimes almost green granules. It's not a poor selection — it's the flowering of those days, captured.
It must be dried immediately after harvesting, because when fresh it is moist and ferments. Once dry, it is crunchy under the teeth and has an herbaceous, slightly bitter taste, very different from the sweetness of honey. Keep it closed, in a cool, dry place. One hundred grams in a cardboard box.
In the kitchen
How long it takes, and what goes on top.
Goes well with In yogurt, on fruit, in porridge. A teaspoon, no more: the flavor is strong.

Two ways to look: the same line, or the same color.
La Foresta
A farm in Montevarchi, in the Valdarno: since 2021 it has been bringing back almost four hundred centuries-old olive trees left abandoned for years, grown without chemical treatments and converting to certified organic. The olives are picked by hand and cold pressed within a few hours. Beside the groves an apiary of more than fifty hives, stationary beekeeping: hive care, harvesting, extraction, jarring and packing are all done on the farm, by hand.
