Brezzo Miele Italiano di Tiglio
Lime-tree honey from Piedmont by Brezzo with a menthol aroma.
Brezzo Miele Italiano di Tiglio is a lime-tree honey that the Brezzo apiary takes from the blossoms of wild lime trees in June and July. The harvest area is Piedmont. The producer notes that bees prefer lime to any other bloom at the same time, so a pure lime honey is possible even where chestnut flowers nearby.
Brezzo singles out a menthol aroma, clear both on the nose and on the palate. It comes with a fresh feel, a lasting, almost balsamic aroma and hints of medicinal herbs and fresh spices. The colour ranges from ivory to light beige. The producer suggests it for sweetening milk and hot herbal drinks, for mulled wine and with alpine cheeses. It is sold in 250, 500 and 1000 g jars.
Why this matters to you: the menthol note makes this honey stand out in an evening herbal tea or a pot of mulled wine.
