Apicoltura Casentinese Miele Melata Toscana
Honeydew honey from Tuscany in the regional line of Apicoltura Casentinese.
Melata is the Italian word for honeydew honey, and in the Selezione Regionale Italiana line from Apicoltura Casentinese it is Tuscan: '100% made in Toscana'. The company from the Casentino valley writes that the honey is collected in areas bordering woodland and that it contains no pollen, since here the bees gather honeydew rather than flower nectar. It is Italian honey selected in the field; harvest runs from July to September. Its taste is labelled bold ('gusto deciso'). The 350 g jar shows the outline of Tuscany and the tricolour. The producer suggests warming it gently in a bain-marie and serving it with fresh ricotta.
Why this matters to you: this is honeydew honey from the brand's home region of Tuscany, and the jar shows it with the region's outline.
