Peperoncino biologico, Organic Chili-Peppers, 15g

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.
