Sardinia boasts a treasure among Italian honeys: thistle honey. Its unmistakable taste and aroma set it apart, offering a unique experience for the senses.

Foraging bees gather nectar from wild thistles, a resilient plant thriving in Sardinia's arid climate. These spiky beauties bloom in summer with vibrant red-purple flowers, painting the landscape with color.

Terrantiga beekeepers present organic thistle honey, bursting with a strong, characteristic flavor. The intense aroma evokes the rich sweetness of the Mediterranean countryside, reminiscent of wildflowers in full bloom.

Characteristics:

• Liquid: Light amber with delicate greenish reflections.
• Crystallized: Light beige to dark beige with yellow tones.

Sensory Experience:

• Aroma: Strong, with a hint of spice – like cinnamon with whispers of nutmeg and thistle flower. A captivating sweetness reminiscent of red fruit jams mingles with a subtle, leathery note.
• Taste: Sweet and robust, with a surprising, slightly bitter aftertaste. The strong, characteristic bouquet explodes in the throat, followed by a lingering, very sweet flavor.

Production method: Crafted using organic beekeeping methods in the uncontaminated lands of Sardinia. This artisanal tradition ensures the honey is obtained without chemical treatments or heat processes, maximizing its nutritional value.
