Honey is made from nectar, while honeydew is made from the sugary liquid secreted by insects as they feed on plant sap. It is basically a by-product for these small insects, but it is an essential source of food for bees which turn these secretions into a dark, thick and delicious honey.

If you purchase honeydew honey, do not expect a sweet and delicate honey. This honey has a strong and long-lasting flavour, a balsamic taste and a unique scent reminiscent of caramel.

It pairs very well with Castelmagno cheese or with Tuscan Pecorino cheese, which are strong enough to stand alongside this honeydew honey.

Apicoltura Cazzola beekeeping only makes whole virgin raw honey that does not undergo any thermal treatment and keeps all natural properties and benefits unaltered. It is extracted by centrifugal force and then left to decant in honey ripeners and poured in jars. Nature at its most pristine.
