Sea shore honey

Our bees have produced a new honey, so delicious that and it has been nicknamed “Ambrosia”, the Gods’ nectar. We are proud to present the Miele di Spiaggia (sea shore honey), which comes from the coast. The place is the Lecciona  beach, part of the natural park of Migliarino San Rossore and Massaciuccoli. Here, the Thyrreanean waters wash the dunes and sand. It is the same  sea that mitigates the climate in the vineyards of Valgiano. And, during  the windy, “libeccio”days,  the salt is blown all the way up on to the olive trees’ leaves. On these dunes, between the pinewood and the shore, the bees live and savour the delights of the flowers of the Mediterranean scrub and the helicrysium meadows that stretch almost all the way to the shore bestowing on the honey a unique aroma. This is how the Miele di Spiaggia is born, sweet, but also with brackish notes, the helicrysium comes out with plenty of character giving out liquorish and curry aromas. Initially, the consistency is is of a liquid until the autumn, when medium size grains begin to crystallise, whose aromas remain unaltered like those that can only be found on this beach during the hot summers.
