Caramel notes and the fragrances of Montepulciano's woodlands

With its distinctive brown colour and intense aroma, it offers a rich, enveloping caramel flavour reminiscent of soft toffee, complemented by evocative woodland notes. A honey full of personality, offering a distinctive and refined sensory experience.

Where Our Honey Comes From
In the hills around Montepulciano, among woodlands, clearings and wild vegetation, heather finds its natural habitat. During the flowering season, our bees visit its small blossoms, gathering the nectar that gives rise to a honey with a deep colour and unmistakable character. A product that captures the wilder, more evocative side of the Tuscan landscape, with its woodland fragrances and rich aromatic nuances.
A Natural Characteristic
Heather honey may naturally develop a dense, crystallised texture over time. Its aromatic characteristics, colour and consistency can vary slightly from one harvest to another, depending on flowering conditions and seasonal weather.
