Italian Lemon Honey

Lemon honey certainly could not be missing from our selected honeys; exclusively produced in the land of citrus groves, Sicily. The honey extraction period is April; a single month to obtain a one-of-a-kind niche product. A fine honey with numerous beneficial properties, with a high content of vitamin C and other vitamins useful for bone and tendon health. It also has a large quantity of minerals and sugars such as potassium, phosphorus, calcium and fructose. A single teaspoon has notable digestive, anti-inflammatory and stress-relieving properties.

Manfredini Beekeeping was founded way back in 1922 thanks to Pio Manfredini, a true pioneer in artisanal honey production and processing techniques. The history of the family continues from generation to generation, passing down secrets and passions; increasingly refining totally artisanal processing techniques. Respect for bees and the territory are the fundamental cornerstone of their production. The honey is processed using traditional techniques which fully respect the physical, chemical and organoleptic characteristics of the product. Such a reality certainly could not be missing among the most prized products of Emilia-Romagna.
