Mieli Thun Tiglio
Lime-blossom honey from Mieli Thun: white with golden glints and a menthol freshness, in 28–400 g jars.
Mieli Thun Tiglio is the lime-blossom honey of Mieli Thun. In Italy, the producer notes, two main lime species grow, Tilia cordata and Tilia platyphyllos, flowering in May and June at altitudes up to 1,200 m. The honey is white with pleasant golden glints and owes its typical scent to more than a hundred different volatile aromatic compounds. The nose is bold, almost pharmaceutical, with floral and fresh-spice notes followed by incense and resin; the palate is refreshing, with menthol, sage and lime and a long finish poised between citrus and bitter. Packs: 28 g, 250 g and 400 g.
Why this matters to you: its menthol profile makes it a natural match for herbal teas and light cocktails such as the bee's knees.
