Cardoon Thistle Honey Sicilian Black Bee 1 kg

Cardo Amodeo Carlo honey in a 1 kg jar is produced in June and July. It has a very fragrant aroma and its flavour is just as strong and decisive as its smell. Its colour varies between light amber when liquid and ochre when it crystallises. It goes well with a variety of fresh and semi-mature cheeses. Like the whole range of Carlo Amodeo company honeys, in order for the Thistle 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 that originates 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.
