Miele di Fiordaliso giallo dell'Alta Murgia - L'Ape nell'Orto

Elegant and rare, our Fiordaliso (Cornflower) Honey is harvested in Puglia from the vivid blue blooms of Centaurea cyanus. Aromas are delicately floral with light spicy and fruity, wine-like nuances, followed by a moderately sweet taste and a gentle, fresh acidity. Naturally fine-creaming with a medium–fast crystallization, it spreads beautifully on toast and melts cleanly in warm drinks. A refined, versatile honey rich in natural antioxidants and trace minerals—perfect for cheese boards, teas, and pastry work.
