Honeydew honey Sicilian Black Bee 400 gr

Amodeo Carlo’s Melata di Ape Nera Sicula Amodeo Carlo honey is characterised by its dark, almost black amber colour and its much less sweet flavour than other honeys. The consistency of honeydew honey is almost always liquid as it does not crystallise. It is a natural product extremely rich in mineral salts that is produced by bees feeding on honeydew, i.e. a sugary substance secreted by some small insects that in turn feed on the sap of trees such as fir, pine, oak and lime. Like the entire range of Carlo Amodeo company honeys, in order for the Honeydew 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 cold storage at 4 degrees.

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