Amber-gold and aromatic, with more character than a light single-varietal honey, and slightly different with every harvest.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\u003cp id=\"speakable-definition\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWildflower honey from Sicily\u003c\/strong\u003e is a polyfloral honey for which bees collect nectar from many of the island's wild blossoms rather than just a single variety. In Italian, it is called Miele di Millefiori siciliano, or \"thousand-flower honey.\" Golden in color and full-bodied in aroma, both spicy and floral, it brings the scent of an entire Sicilian meadow into the jar.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAmber-gold and full of meadow aromas\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe wildflower honey shimmers amber-gold and delivers a full, spicy aroma that smells of warm herbs and summer blossoms. The color ranges from light amber to deep golden brown, depending on which blossoms were dominant.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe fragrance blends flowers and herbs, a hint of fennel and thyme, and a warm, malty sweetness. On the palate, it is full-bodied and long-lasting, significantly more robust than a mild spring honey, but without becoming bitter. Because the bees forage freely, every batch tastes slightly different – sometimes more floral, sometimes spicier, depending on what was in bloom. A honey with a personality of its own, retelling a piece of Sicily every summer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFor strong cheese and dressings\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIts fuller aroma holds its own even alongside intense partners, where a delicate honey would be lost.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe wildflower honey shines on dark bread or whole grain, and it provides a sweet counterpoint to an aged \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/parmigiano-reggiano\"\u003ePecorino or blue cheese\u003c\/a\u003e. In dressings with mustard and vinegar, it adds depth; drizzled over roasted vegetables or used in a marinade for chicken, it provides a spicy sweetness. And in a robust black tea, it dissolves into a rounded, warm beverage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor breakfast, it pairs well on hearty bread with butter or in porridge, and over yogurt with nuts, it makes \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/fruehstueck\"\u003ebreakfast\u003c\/a\u003e a bit more savory. It handles heat well when baking, giving gingerbread or honey cakes a dark, aromatic sweetness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFreely foraged in the hinterland of Trapani\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAround Trapani, between hills, maquis, and old fields, a colorful variety of wild plants blooms from spring into summer. Thyme and wild fennel, clover, thistle, and the last of the citrus blossoms – all of this can be found, depending on the year, in a single \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/honig\"\u003eflower honey\u003c\/a\u003e, quite unlike a pure varietal honey from a single nectar source. It is a honey that captures an entire landscape and season, not just one blossom.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is collected under the umbrella of \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/antica-bottega-siciliana\"\u003eAntica Bottega Siciliana\u003c\/a\u003e. Salvatore Novara, who runs the brand in Trapani, works with small beekeepers and producers on the island who practice their craft in the traditional way, without industrial shortcuts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIt tastes different from harvest to harvest\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWildflower honey also crystallizes over time – simply stir it until creamy or place the jar briefly in a warm water bath, at most 40 degrees Celsius, so the aromas remain. Because its taste changes from harvest to harvest, it is worth comparing directly – a spoonful on its own reveals what this batch from Sicily has brought with it. Kept cool, dry, and well-sealed, it stays fresh for a long time.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antica Bottega Siciliana","offers":[{"title":"250 g","offer_id":60225434288462,"sku":"033ABS21073","price":6.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0905\/1124\/5646\/files\/antica-bottega-siciliana-wildbluetenhonig.png?v=1785914801","url":"https:\/\/norgutes.com\/en\/products\/antica-bottega-siciliana-wildbluetenhonig","provider":"nur Gutes","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
