Tardivo Eucalyptus Honey Sicilian Black Bee 1 kg

Amodeo Carlo’s Eucalyptus Honey in 1 kg jars is produced in the Palermo, Enna and Nisseno areas in July and August. It has the intense aroma of eucalyptus flowers, strong, characteristic and pungent, and its flavour is equally strong but pleasant, reminiscent of English liquorice sweets. Its colour varies between medium amber and grey when crystallised. Thanks to its intense flavour, it lends itself well with low-fat or very mature cheeses such as Parmesan. Like the entire range of honeys from the Carlo Amodeo company, in order for Eucalyptus 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 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.
