GENERAL USE

Generally, Bergamot Flavored Honey is used for the preparation of traditional sweets (Pignolata, Mustaccioli, etc…), but this Honey is employed also in folk medicine (bronchial infections). Only in recently honey has been characterized and appreciated as monofloral.

Main places of production are Amaroni (Catanzaro) Italy and San Ferdinando (Reggio Calabria), where honey is of a ‘clear’ or ‘dark’ quality.

Usually, Bergamot Flavored Honey, this treasure patiently elaborated by swarms of bees, is moderately sweet and wonderful with semi aged Pecorino, for example Mount Poro or Pecorino of Crotone.

The quality of this clear honey comes from a slow creation by spontaneous roaming of bees collecting the nectar from Bergamot floral sources.

The meadows of Calabria are the place where bees search Bergamot floral sources. The natural conditions vary during the year, so that the taste of Bergamot tree honey slightly differs from year to year.
