Mieli Thun Girasole
Sunflower honey from the Italian producer Mieli Thun, deep yellow, in 28, 250 and 400 g jars.
Mieli Thun Girasole is the sunflower honey in the range of the Italian producer Mieli Thun. Sunflowers bloom from June to August at altitudes up to 700 m. The producer calls the colour a warm, intense yellow and links it to pollen coated in tiny drops of yellow oil.
On the nose Mieli Thun finds pollen, fresh-cut hay, pineapple and passion fruit. The palate is described as fruity and intense, with a fresh acidity recalling green tomato jam and ripe apricot, and a star anise finish. Companion pollens listed are goat's rue, Christ's thorn, Egyptian clover and wild carrot. Jars: 28, 250 and 400 g.
Why this matters to you: the producer recommends it for soups and broths, so it suits cooks looking for a honey for savoury dishes.
