Sulla Honey
The delicate essence of unspoilt Val d'Orcia
Our sulla honey comes from the unspoilt landscapes of Val d'Orcia, during the spring flowering of this plant with its distinctive pinkish-red blossoms. With its exceptionally pale colour and subtle aroma, it offers a delicate, harmonious sweetness complemented by a pleasantly mild tangy note. One of the most beloved honeys in our collection, it beautifully expresses the natural elegance of the land where it is produced.
Sensory Profile
Colour: very pale, from straw yellow to ivory white after crystallisation
Aroma: subtle and delicate, with gentle vegetal and floral nuances
Flavour: sweet, delicate and harmonious, with a pleasantly mild tangy note and a short finish
Crystallisation: natural, generally forming fine or medium crystals with a firm texture
How to Enjoy It
Thanks to its delicate flavour, sulla honey is ideal for breakfast, spread on toast or crispbread, and pairs beautifully with yoghurt, ricotta and fresh fruit.
It is also perfect for sweetening tea and herbal infusions without overpowering their aromas, or for preparing cakes, biscuits and delicately flavoured desserts.
Where Our Honey Comes From
Among the rolling hills, flowering meadows and sweeping landscapes of Val d'Orcia, we carefully select unspoilt locations for our beehives. Here, far from large urban centres, our bees gather nectar from sulla blossoms, which bring soft pink hues to the countryside in spring. From this harmony between nature, landscape and the work of our bees comes a pale, delicate honey deeply connected to our homeland.
A Natural Characteristic
Sulla honey naturally tends to crystallise in the months following the harvest, developing an even paler colour, often approaching ivory white. Crystallisation is a completely natural process that does not affect the quality of the honey and gives it a pleasant texture on the palate.
