Organic Forest Honey

Produced in the uncontaminated wooded areas of Tuscia

An experience of complex and persistent flavours, which encapsulates the essence of the forest.

Organic Forest Honey Opificio 13

This is no ordinary honey. Opificio 13's Organic Forest Honey is a rare and precious product, made not from flower nectar, but from honeydew: a sugary substance collected from trees in the pristine forests of Tuscia, near Viterbo. This unique origin gives it an unmistakable character and an aromatic profile that differs markedly from traditional honeys.

Upon first taste, it reveals a blend of surprising aromas. It's not a particularly sweet honey; on the contrary, it leaves a pleasantly bitter and complex aftertaste on the tongue, with notes reminiscent of carob, rhubarb, and even licorice stick. It's a honey with a full, persistent, and mature flavor.

Choosing this honey means bringing an organic, artisanal product to the table, one that showcases the biodiversity of a local area and the expertise of a dedicated producer like Opificio 13, who works with full respect for nature and its cycles.

The roots of this Organic Forest Honey are deep in tradition

The production of honeydew honey is an ancient art. Unlike nectar honeys, honeydew is produced under specific environmental conditions, when aphids feed on the sap of trees (such as oak, chestnut, and fir) and release this sugary exudate. The tireless bees collect it and transform it into this dark, thick, and rich honey.

In Tuscia, a volcanic region rich in forests, this practice has found an ideal environment. This Organic Forest Honey is the direct expression of that ecosystem: a concentration of minerals and forest floor aromas, processed using organic methods that preserve every nuance.

Choosing Organic Forest Honey means taking care of yourself

Thanks to its unique origin, honeydew honey is often considered superior to nectar honeys due to its mineral content, trace elements (such as iron, potassium, and magnesium), and antioxidant compounds. It's a true natural supplement, an ally for the immune system and for those seeking a sweetener with less sugar but more nutrients.

Organic certification guarantees the complete absence of pesticides or chemical treatments, both on the harvest grounds and in the apiaries. It's a pure product, offering only the best of the forest, ideal for those following a conscious diet and seeking natural, authentic energy.
