Breyer Nobreflora Mel de Melato da Bracatinga
Organic honeydew honey from bracatinga trees by Breyer, with a denomination of origin seal, 270 g bottle.
Mel de Melato da Bracatinga is Breyer's honeydew honey rather than a blossom honey. The bees collect the sweet secretion that appears on bracatinga trees where scale insects feed, a honey typical of southern Brazil. Breyer describes it as dark, highly viscous, with a full-bodied flavour and aroma. The ingredient line reads 100% organic bracatinga honeydew honey. The product carries a Denominação de Origem seal, a protected designation of origin that the producer says guarantees its singularity and quality control. The 270 g bottle looks deep red because of the honey inside. Breyer recommends it with bread, meat, cheese and sauces.
Why this matters to you: the origin seal sets genuine bracatinga honeydew apart from dark blends that name no clear source.
