In short
Honeydew honey is the only domestic honey that does not originate from a flower. Bees collect the sugary substance that remains on the leaves and branches of trees, and that becomes an almost black, dense honey, with very little floral aroma and a strong taste of the forest.
In the mouth, it is less sweet than others because it contains fewer simple sugars, and it leaves a note reminiscent of licorice and dark caramel. For the same reason, it remains liquid for a long time and crystallizes late. Store in a pantry, away from light and heat. Half-kilo glass jar, hand-filled in Montevarchi.

On the same stall
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.
