Description
Heather honey is a type of monofloral honey and is obtained from Erica arborea, a bushy shrub that produces white-pink bell-shaped flowers. In Liguria it grows on arid coasts exposed to the sun and flowers around the month of April.
Erica honey has an amber colour, sometimes dark amber, and is a honey that crystallises very quickly, therefore it must be packaged immediately after a short maturation
The scent of this honey recalls caramel or saffron, the taste is generally sweet, of medium intensity. The peculiarity of Erica honey is its taste, which is reminiscent of crème caramel, toffee, with an aftertaste of licorice.
Pairings:
A perfect honey for refined palates, who love delicate but particular flavours. To be enjoyed on bread to appreciate its aromatic nuances, it can be paired with mature and spicy cheeses, including goat’s and sheep’s. As a “table” honey, tasted in purity, it does not give a rapid sense of satiety like other honeys.
