The Plant

Each monofloral honey comes from a specific plant, with its own flowering cycle, natural habitat, and unique nectar composition. Knowing the plant helps us understand the aromas, colors, and structure of honey, because nectar is influenced by soil, climate, altitude, and surrounding biodiversity.

Orange (Citrus sinensis)

A tree that symbolizes the citrus groves of Sicily and Calabria. It blooms in April with its famous orange blossoms, among the most fragrant flowers in the Mediterranean.
The nectar contains citrus aromatic compounds (linalool, neroli) that define the typical profile of orange honey.

Thun Honey:

Mieli Thun is one of the most respected beekeeping companies in Italy, founded in Trentino and specializing in the production of pure monofloral honeys. The company practices nomadic beekeeping , moving its hives to over sixty selected sites throughout Italy to monitor the blooms at their optimal time.

Each honey comes from a single, recognizable bloom , harvested without heat treatment, preserving its aromas, enzymes, and botanical identity. This approach allows for honeys that faithfully reflect the landscape, season, and plant from which they originate.

The company's philosophy is based on three principles:
• Pure ingredient , unpasteurized and unrefined.
• Territoriality , with collections in selected and uncontaminated places.
• Transparency , from the choice of sites to honey extraction and maturation.

The result is a collection of honeys that does not seek standardization, but enhances biodiversity and the unique character of each vintage and each territory .
