Thyme Honey Sicilian Black Bee 250 gr

Amodeo Carlo’s 250 g Amodeo Sicula Black Bee Thyme Honey is produced in Sicily’s Ragusa region. It has a very intense, floral aroma that is perhaps reminiscent of thymol and its flavour is just as strong as its smell. Its colour is light amber, but it crystallises very quickly becoming much darker, hazelnut in colour. It is ideal as an accompaniment to savoury and spicy cheeses. Like the whole range of Carlo Amodeo Company honeys, in order for Thyme Honey to retain 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 a cold store 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), also declared 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 ability to develop from small nuclei.
