Forest Honeydew

Una Goccia d'Oro – Grandi Mieli d'Italia award

A honey from the heart of the forest. A special honey, dark, intense and with a unique character, which has already won several awards at national competitions. Forest honeydew is the only honey that does not come from flower nectar: the bees collect honeydew, a sugary substance produced by tiny aphids that feed on the sap of trees deep in the woods.
