Asphodel Honey Sicilian Black Bee 250 gr

Ape Nera Sicula Amodeo Carlo’s Asphodel Honey is produced in the Palermo and Enna areas in May and June. It has a delicate, slightly floral aroma and its flavour is similarly subtle with a slightly acidic aftertaste. Its colour is yellow tending to amber. It is ideal with ricotta and fresh, unripened cheeses. Like the whole range of Carlo Amodeo company honeys, in order for the Asphodel Honey to maintain all its properties for longer, it is extracted from the honeycombs taken from the flowering areas every 7 days to avoid oxidation at high temperatures, immediately centrifuged, decanted, potted and placed in the refrigerator at 4 degrees.

Apicoltura Carlo Amodeo boasts a production of the finest and most typical Sicilian honeys from the native Sicilian bee, the Ape Nera (Apis mellifera siciliana). Defined black because of its dark colour, the Sicilian bee is distinguished by some important peculiarities such as productivity and earliness. Moreover, the Sicula bee has a very low honey consumption and a strong capacity to develop from small nuclei.
