Honig

The bitter-sweet strawberry tree honey is produced in autumn. The bees depend on the flowers of the strawberry tree (corbezzolo) at this time of year because there are no other flowers. The result is this honey, bitter taste, good against cough but also supporting a good sleep. The honey crystallises immediately after extraction and is only sold in this state. The colour is light beige, the flavour aromatic and somewhat reminiscent of nuts. 
The honey is said to soothe coughs, helps to fall asleep and is also considered an aphrodisiac in Sardinia.

It goes wonderfully with cream cheese, ricotta and various desserts. Even Cicero is said to have tasted honey during his exile in Sardinia.

 

This eucalyptus honey comes from the flat and coastal areas of Gallura, where eucalyptus trees stand as windbreaks. The different eucalyptus species, which flower both in spring and summer, contribute significantly to the production of this honey. The honey has a strong, intense flavour and a soothing effect on all kinds of coughs. 
Use: suitable for all applications, especially recommended for inflammatory diseases of the respiratory tract.

The mixed flower honey comes from the natural and uncontaminated pastures of Gallura. Lavender, asphodel, heather, thistle, wild clover and rockrose are the main contributors to this honey. As the flowers develop differently and are distinctive depending on the season, the honey can have different colours from year to year, ranging from golden yellow to amber. The smell is delicate and slightly floral.

This thistle honey comes from the hills of Gallura from different species of wild thistles. They bloom in early spring and, with late rains, even in early summer. Therefore, the honey has a high density and an intense flavour typical of this flowering period. It is probably the most characteristic Sardinian honey and is much sought after and appreciated by customers because of its distinctive taste.

This lavender honey comes from the hills of Gallura. The wild lavender makes an important contribution and is completely different from the honey obtained from cultivated lavender. Thus, the honey is distinguished by its high fructose content, which allows it to maintain its liquid phase for a long time. 
The honey is mild, bright in colour and very suitable for sensitive palates, including those of children.
