Mountain Wildflower Honey 0.5 Kg

Honey from the Poscavrì farm located in Provaglio, over 700 meters.

A honey produced from the combination of a variety of blooms found in Vallesabbia; a honey that is never predictable or trivial with an explosion of scents and flavors that characterize the area and vary with the seasons, because the same honey will never be produced every year.

This is due to the fact that the blooms of each essence present in the area can be abundant or scarce depending on the seasonal climate. So one year the chestnut may dominate while another year the lime tree is present in greater quantities than the bramble or vice versa giving the honey an ever-so-slightly different taste from the year before. This fact makes mixed-flower honeys very valuable and distinctive in contrast to monofloral honeys that may have similar characteristics even though they are produced in different territories.

Millefiori quality honey is produced in a pristine valley

The honey is produced by Poscavrì, a small farm dedicated to nature and founded a very few years ago by Martina and Alessandro. Their farm is surrounded by woods, full of green nooks and crannies where plants such as Thyme, peppermint the climbing rosellas, elderberry, healing wild herbs and many, many other little plants grow.

Its versatility makes it ideal for combining with fresh cheeses, yogurt, herbal teas and toast. In addition, it can be used to sweeten tea and coffee, adding a touch of natural sweetness.

But the virtues of wildflower honey are not just limited to cooking. This precious natural nectar offers a number of health benefits. Among its many benefits, wildflower honey stimulates the immune system, helps fight allergies, helps reduce LDL cholesterol, and improves concentration and memory. Because of its antibacterial and antibiotic properties, especially in the case of mountain honey, it can be an ally against flu symptoms, coughs, and seasonal allergies. Many people have reported improvements in their physical well-being through regular consumption of this honey. In addition, wildflower honey is kind to the intestines and digestive system.

From a nutritional point of view, honey has 33% fewer calories than sucrose and granular fructose. This natural treasure is known for its antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, decongestant and cholagogic properties, thanks to the polyphenols and essential oils it contains.

Crystallization of wildflower honey: a natural and delicious process

Crystallized mixed-flower honey is a variety of natural honey that solidifies due to the crystallization of the natural sugar contained in the honey. This process is completely natural and does not harm the product; rather, it is an indicator of high quality. Crystallized mixed-flower honey has a grainier consistency than liquid honey, but this does not mean that it is unusable or spoiled. On the contrary, many prefer this consistency because it is considered better for preserving the honey’s aromas and flavors.

To return crystallized wildflower honey to a liquid consistency, follow these simple steps:

• Soak the jar of crystallized mixed-flower honey in a saucepan of warm water, avoiding direct contact between the water and the honey jar.
• Gently stir the honey with a wooden spoon or rubber spatula while it is in the pot to avoid damaging the container.
• Once the honey has melted completely, remove the jar from the pot and let it cool to room temperature.
• If you notice residual crystals in the honey, you can strain it through a fine sieve or cotton cloth.
• Store honey in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

It is essential to avoid overheating honey, keeping the temperature below 40 degrees Celsius, as higher temperatures can alter its properties. In addition, overheating can cause burns. Follow the above procedure, using lukewarm water to heat the honey and ensuring that the temperature remains around 37 to 39 degrees Celsius. While heating, gently stir the honey to evenly melt the crystals, thus preserving its integrity.
