This organic thyme honey is one of the rarest Sicilian honeys. It is harvested in the area of the San Pietro Forest Nature Reserve, about 20 km from Caltagirone.

This is the second largest nature reserve in Sicily, bordering the 'Sughereta di Niscemi' (a vast oak forest), with whom they form one of the most luxuriant and green areas of the Calatino region.

Thanks to the many natural water sources, here the vegetation is extremely varied. The forest is the habitat for over 300 species of plants, some of which are very rare. Walking through the woods you can find hawthorn, heather, arbutus, myrtle, rosemary and the precious thyme.

This organic thyme honey, considered by the ancients to be the finest honey, is light amber in colour. Its aroma is spicy, reminiscent of aromatic herbs, Marsala wine and mulled wine. The flavour is distinctive, with notes of aromatic herbs and dates. It has a soft but persistent sweetness.

It may have the classic whitish marbling, a characteristic often found in honeys that have NOT undergone heat treatment and have been stored in a cool place. Although this may appear to be a cosmetic imperfection, it is actually another guarantee of the product's quality.

Our organic thyme honey is made with grat respect for the extraordinary bees' world:

• Cold extracted, without the use of chemical treatments
• No heat treatment and NOT pasteurised, preserving its high nutritional value
