Mieli Thun Sulla
Very pale sulla (Hedysarum coronarium) honey by Mieli Thun, in 28, 250 and 400 g jars.
Sulla (Hedysarum coronarium) is a forage legume with carmine-red flowers, and Mieli Thun sells a single-flower honey from it. It blooms in April and May up to 800 m. The honey ranges from wax white to ice white; the producer calls sulla pollen a typical marker of Italy and the Mediterranean.
The nose is faint and lightly floral, with straw and dry grass. Sweetness is gentle and short, with hints of green legumes, hay and fresh walnut husk. Companion pollens: citrus, clover, black locust and vetch. Jars: 28, 250 and 400 g.
Why this matters to you: the producer recommends it for home baking, because the honey feeds bread yeast.
