Brezzo Miele Italiano di Acacia
Acacia honey from the woods of Roero and Monferrato (Piedmont) by Brezzo.
Brezzo Miele Italiano di Acacia is a monofloral acacia honey from Apicoltura Brezzo in Canale, Piedmont. The producer states that it is gathered in the woods of Roero and Monferrato, where black locust (Robinia pseudoacacia) covers itself in white flowers in May; the harvest runs from April to May.
Brezzo describes the colour as water-white to straw yellow and the taste as very sweet, with notes of vanilla, sugared almond and sweet almond. The honey does not crystallise. The producer suggests it for coffee and drinks, with yoghurt, mascarpone, fresh ricotta and blue cheeses, and on fruit tarts. Jars of 250 g, 500 g and 1000 g are listed.
Why this matters to you: this Piedmont acacia honey stays runny, so it melts straight into coffee and sits well with soft cheeses.
