| Features: Today, while honey has taken the back seat to sugar for everyday use, premium honeys are still carefully made in small batches on local bee farms, or apiaries. iGourmet is proud to exclusively offer the super premium honeys from Il Forteto, whose bees collect pollen from the idyllic fields around Mugello in Northern Italy. This area is rich in tradition and has always been the foremost wood and game preserve of the Italian countryside. Acacia Honey, the most fluid and pourable of the four Il Forteto honeys, is made from nectar collected from Acacia tree blossoms. The Acacia tree is a member of the legume family, as are beans, peas, clover and alfalfa. Its blossoms produce a honey that is remarkably clear and pure. This honey is great drizzled lightly over a bit of pecorino or gorgonzola, as its sweetness perfectly balances the salty tang of the cheese. |
