Miele di Lavanda - L'Ape nell'Orto

Fragrant and soothing, our Italian Lavender Honey is harvested in Puglia at peak bloom. Pale-gold to light amber, it opens with elegant floral, herbal and vanilla-like notes, followed by a clean, moderately sweet finish. Naturally fine-crystallizing into a soft, spreadable cream, it’s perfect for sweetening teas, glazing pastries, or pairing with fresh cheeses. Rich in natural antioxidants and trace minerals, this is a refined pantry staple that brings a gentle Mediterranean perfume to every dish.
