Lampedusa Island Mixed flower honey Sicilian Black Bee 250 gr

Miele Millefiori di Lampedusa di Ape Nera Sicula Amodeo Carlo is produced on the distant island of Lampedusa, where Carlo Amodeo has set up stations with pure Sicilian bees. The colour is dark amber and the consistency is liquid. Being a millefiori honey, the flavour tends to be sweet but has different nuances depending on the botanical species collected by the bees. Like the whole range of honeys from the Carlo Amodeo company, in order for the Lampedusa 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 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.

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.
