Forest Honeydew Honey

Raw, unfiltered, unpasteurized

The dark and deep flavour of the forest, enclosed in a jar: notes of malt, resin and undergrowth

Bucolica's Honeydew Honey

Forest Honeydew Honey is a rare and precious honey, with a dark amber, almost brown, color and an intense, slightly sweet flavor, with malty, balsamic, and nutty notes. Unlike nectar honeys, honeydew comes from the sugary secretions that bees collect on forest trees, resulting in a product rich in character and minerals. Bucolica offers it raw, unfiltered, and unpasteurized: no heat treatment or thorough filtration preserves the pollen, enzymes, and all the aromatic nuances the forest has to offer. This honey doesn't crystallize easily and elegantly pairs with both sweet and savory dishes.
 
 
 

The roots of this Honeydew Honey are deep in tradition

Honeydew has been known since ancient times: classical authors spoke of a mysterious "honeydew" that beaded the leaves of trees, believing it to have fallen from the sky or the stars. Only centuries later was it understood that this sugary substance came from small insects that feed on the sap of oaks, firs, and other forest trees, and that bees collected it when flowers were scarce, in late summer. In Alpine and Apennine traditions, forest honey was considered the "winter" honey par excellence: dark, rich, invigorating, reserved for the cold months and for the tables of those who knew the secrets of the forest.
 
 
 

Choosing Forest Honeydew Honey means taking care of yourself

Honeydew is among the honeys richest in minerals and trace elements, such as iron, potassium, and magnesium, and is known for its higher antioxidant content than many clear honeys. With approximately 332 kcal per 100 g and a slightly lower sugar content than nectar honeys, it is also appreciated by those seeking a more subtle and complex sweetness. Being raw, unfiltered, and unpasteurized, it preserves the enzymes and pollen naturally present. A teaspoon dissolved in a warm drink has always been a simple, traditional way to face the cold months with a genuine treat.
