Description
This honey is harvested by our beekeeper, Daniele Cossu, in the Barigadu Mountains, located in the heart of Sardinia.
This wild, predominantly mountainous region is rich in woodlands, with the highest peak being Monte Santa Vittoria at 814 metres. The Mediterranean scrub here is characterised by evergreen shrubs, including the strawberry tree and the mastic tree, as well as various climbing plants such as black bryony, ivy and different types of clematis.
In 1983, a permanent wildlife protection area was established in this region: the Assai Wildlife Oasis, named after the local area. The fauna in the Oasis is of great scientific interest and includes fallow deer, Sardinian deer, wildcats and martens. Breeding bird species include some Sardinian endemics such as the Eurasian sparrowhawk, the great spotted woodpecker, the coal tit and the black-headed bunting.
It is in this magnificent setting that Daniele Cossu brings his bees to produce an exceptional arbutus honey.
This honey is ideal for those who appreciate its distinctly bitter and intense flavour, reminiscent of coffee grounds, bitter herbs, rhubarb and gentian.
HARVEST AREA: exclusively from wild flora in the Barigadu Mountains (Sardinia).
