Honey - Dandelion Honey - Thun Honey

Dandelion Honey:

A honey with a strong identity, a deep yellow color and rapid crystallization. The aroma is vegetal, reminiscent of wild herbs and fresh flowers; on the palate it is bold and persistent, with a subtle sweetness.

It pairs beautifully with cow's milk cheeses, quality butter, homemade bread and rustic breakfasts.

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.

Dandelion (Taraxacum officinale)

A wild herbaceous plant widespread in permanent meadows and mountainous areas. It flowers very early, as early as March-April, with yellow flower heads rich in nectar.
Its high glucose concentration promotes very rapid crystallization, typical of 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 .
