The name ‘Millefiori’ is given to honey that is not produced just from one specific plant but from an innumerable quantity and variety of different flowers. For this reason, the honey can have a different flavour and colour from year to year, depending on the botanical species that are prevalent at that time. One of the better known and loved table honeys, it is a high-energy food and one of the most complete.
Characteristics: runny at extraction, crystallizes spontaneously in late summer and autumn.
Recommended use: for breakfast, morning and afternoon tea or just snacking, it is a great compliment to fresh cheeses and marvelous in hot drinks like tea.
