Organic Ivy Honey

Mugello honey, rare and crystalline, with a vegetal and balsamic profile

A journey into the undergrowth: root, licorice and fresh resin in a surprising honey

Ivy Honey by Az. Agr. The BeeO Baita

La BeeO Baita's Organic Ivy Honey is a rare and precious specialty from the Mugello hills. It is the honey with the highest glucose content, a characteristic that allows it to crystallize very quickly, giving it a compact and extremely fine consistency. On the nose, it releases unmistakable vegetal aromas of roots, licorice, and conifer leaves, while on the palate it evokes undergrowth and fresh resin, with a surprising, almost balsamic sensation. Produced by bees managed with the utmost respect for the hive's natural rhythms, it is a honey with a bold and original character, far removed from conventional sweetness. Certified organic, it is the authentic expression of attentive beekeeping, guardians of bees and biodiversity, immersed in the pristine nature of the Tuscan valley.
 
 
 

The roots of this honey are sunk in a late and precious flowering

Ivy honey is one of the rarest and most unique honeys in the beekeeping world, the fruit of a late, autumnal flowering, when most plants have completed their cycle. Ivy, an ancient plant rich in symbolism—sacred to Dionysus in Greek mythology and always a symbol of tenacity and loyalty due to its ability to endure and climb—provides bees with a last, precious nectar before winter. Precisely for this reason, its honey is a special gift, capable of capturing the wildest and most profound scents of the forest. Knowing how to harvest and enhance it requires great beekeeping expertise. BeeO Baita preserves this rare product with dedication, bringing to the table a honey that speaks of autumn and the secrets of the Mugello undergrowth.
 
 
 

Choosing Ivy Honey means taking care of yourself

Ivy honey, like all raw and organic honeys, preserves a precious wealth of enzymes, antioxidants, and minerals, unaltered by heat treatments. Its high glucose content makes it a readily available energy source, ideal for regaining strength. Its balsamic and vegetal notes are traditionally accompanied by soothing properties, useful during the colder months. Its bold, not cloying flavor, with its long persistence, makes it perfect even for those who dislike overly sweet honeys. As a niche monofloral honey, it is also a valuable indicator of biodiversity and environmental health. Consumed in moderation, it is a valid and authentic alternative to refined sugar, rich in character.
 
 
 

How to Best Use: Organic Ivy Honey

• AT THE END OF COOKING ON VEGETABLE SOUPS — Its vegetal profile makes it surprising in the kitchen. A teaspoon raw on a Fresh Vegetable Soup or on a legume soup it enhances the flavours with an unexpected balsamic note.
• WITH BLUE CHEESES AND WALNUTS IN RAVIOLI — A signature ingredient for stuffed pasta. Use it to season fresh pasta ravioli stuffed with Organic Sorrento walnuts and a tasty cheese like the Pecorino Aged in Walnut Leaves, for a refined and original first course.
• ON BREAD, EVO OIL AND SALT — In its simplest and most honest version. Spread it on a slice of bread with a drizzle of New stone-ground extra virgin olive oil and a pinch of salt, or combine it with organic buffalo provolone for a taste of pure peasant tradition.
