Forest Honey 40g

Forest honeydew honey is not obtained from flower nectar, but is produced by bees collecting honeydew drops from the living parts of all forest plants, mainly brambles and oaks. Honeydew consists of sugary secretions produced from the sap of plants attacked by certain insects that sting the leaves (in particular the 'butterfly' Metcalfa pruinosa Say, originally from America, spread to Europe starting from Italy in 1980). The flowering period of the forest is between July and September. Mini size format of the classics for tastings and culinary pairings.
