Honeydew Mountain Honey

Honeyde Honeydew of the best quality produced in the mountains in the heart of the Modena Apennines: the ideal habitat for our bees. Honeydew honey, also called forest honey, is a very famous honey and very rich in nutritional properties. It does not derive from the classic collection of flower nectar, but from honeydew, a sweet substance produced by some insects which they deposit on the leaves of trees after feeding on the sap. Bees collect this substance, producing a honey with peculiar characteristics: very viscous, which does not crystallise. Rich in beneficial properties, it is a very precious food for our diet because it is abundant in mineral salts, amino acids and vitamins. It is also a source of calcium, sodium, magnesium, potassium and iron.

Manfredini Apiculture is located in Pavullo nel Frignano in the center of the Modena Apennines where the healthiness and authenticity of the places is synonymous with a product that is more unique than rare. The quality of honey depends greatly on the climatic and environmental characteristics that surround it, in fact in this place we find an area free of atmospheric, acoustic and light pollution. Far from cities and inhabited centers, we ensure that bees have their natural habitat to be able to operate impeccably.

Manfredini Beekeeping was founded way back in 1922 thanks to Pio Manfredini, a true pioneer in artisanal honey production and processing techniques. The family history 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 with traditional techniques that respect the physical characteristics as much as possible.

Its peculiar color is brownish brown with reddish black nuances. The scent is truly particular, intense and aromatic. The flavor is characterized by not being particularly sweet, slightly bitter with a toasted aftertaste of dried fruit and caramel.

Pairings

Excellent as a sweetener for coffee instead of sugar. Thanks to its complexity and aromaticity, it is perfect with dry, long-matured cheeses, such as our 40-month Parmigiano Reggiano.
