Lemon Honey Sicilian Black Bee 400 gr

Ape Nera Sicula Amodeo Carlo’s Lemon Honey is produced in the Palermo area from late April to early May. It has a delicate and fresh aroma reminiscent of the same flowers, and is a honey with a fine, heady and very fruity taste. It is colourless when still liquid, pearly white when crystallised. Ideal when used together with orange and mandarin honey to sweeten herbal teas, as these honeys have a delicate taste. Perfect when combined with cheeses, especially aged ones.

Like the whole range of Carlo Amodeo company honeys, in order for Lemon 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 a cold store at 4 degrees.

Apicoltura Carlo Amodeo boasts the production of some of Sicily’s finest and most typical 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.

Please note that the information on the density and colour of honey described on this page may vary slightly depending on the time of year.
