Massimo Carpinteri, a dedicated Italian beekeeper, brings his hives each year to the famed Valensole Plateau in France. Renowned for its vast lavender fields, this region provides the perfect environment for producing exceptional organic lavender honey.
Carpinteri's Valensole lavender honey is a rare gem. One of the few Italian producers to achieve certified organic status, his honey has garnered international acclaim, including a prestigious second-place finish at the 2012 BioMiel competition.
This lavender honey is celebrated for its subtlety and delicate flavor profile. While undeniably aromatic, the scent evokes more than just the classic lavender oil. Expect intriguing notes of fig, chamomile, and peach tea, with a touch of dried lavender and incense for added depth.
The taste is equally captivating. Sweet and herbaceous with fruity undertones, it brings to mind passion fruit, figs, peach tea, and even the wafer-like exterior of nougat.
Visually stunning, the honey starts as a pale straw liquid, transforming into a white or near-white crystal once set. Primarily harvested between mid-July and the end of July, coinciding with the lavender bloom, this honey is a testament to traditional beekeeping practices.
Produced organically and ethically:
- No harsh chemicals are used.
- Hives are located in pristine areas.
- Honey remains unpasteurized, preserving its full nutritional value.
