Apicoltura Casentinese Miele di Sulla Italia
Italian sulla honey (Hedysarum coronarium) from Apicoltura Casentinese.
Sulla (Hedysarum coronarium) is a legume grown in Italy as a forage crop in central and especially southern regions. Its honey is part of the Selezione Italiana line from Apicoltura Casentinese: 100% Italian, selected in the field, with 'sulla honey' as the only ingredient. The producer describes the colour as colourless to straw yellow, and once crystallised as white to light beige; the taste is labelled neutral. The harvest runs from April to June. It is sold in 350 g and 750 g jars with a silver lid and the Italian tricolour on the label.
Why this matters to you: sulla is little known outside Italy, so this is a chance to taste a pale honey missing from the usual varieties.
