Mieli Thun is an Italian honey brand from Vigo di Ton in Val di Non, Trentino.
Mieli Thun is an Italian honey brand from Vigo di Ton in Val di Non, Trentino. The brand began in the early 1990s with Andrea Paternoster, who wanted to turn honey into a recognised culinary ingredient. The company stands near Castel Thun, which gave it its name, and moves its hives every year to more than 60 sites.
The range includes Monoflora (acacia, tiglio, castagno, erica, lavanda, abete, rododendro e altri), quintessenze. The honey is presented as Italian, monofloral, nomadic and raw, harvested at peak bloom.
Why this matters to you: Mieli Thun names the place where its bees work (Trentino), which lets you compare this honey with honey of the same kind from elsewhere.
