Mieli Thun Erica
Heather honey from Mieli Thun: dark amber, naturally cloudy, with caramel and coffee notes, in 28–400 g jars.
Mieli Thun Erica is the heather honey of Mieli Thun. It comes from a Mediterranean heath shrub or small tree with pyramid-shaped clusters of white or pink flowers, blooming from March to May at up to 800 m. The producer describes a dark amber honey with red or orange hues, rich in insoluble substances that make it cloudy even straight from the comb. The nose offers cooked caramel, ground coffee, chamomile, turmeric, saffron and apricot jam; the palate is moderately sweet and very persistent, with toffee, tamarind and a bitter finish. Packs: 28 g, 250 g and 400 g.
Why this matters to you: the producer calls it the honey of fermentation, so for mead, beer or herbal infusions it is an obvious candidate.
