Forest Honey Mitica® | Raw Dark Honeydew Honey from Emilia Romagna, Italy (4.23 oz)

Not Blossom. Not Ordinary. The Fascinating World of Forest Honey.

Forest Honey is unlike any honey you have tasted before. While blossom honeys are made from flower nectar, Mitica® Forest Honey is a honeydew honey — fascinatingly, the bees collect tree sap released by aphids and process it exactly like nectar, producing a honey of extraordinary mineral richness, depth, and complexity. Prized across Europe for its high mineral content, remarkable health benefits, and bold, distinctive flavor, forest honey is the connoisseur's choice — and Mitica®'s expression is among the finest available.

Brothers Fabrizio and Pierpaolo have been tending bees and collecting honey for over 20 years in Emilia Romagna — Italy's most celebrated food region. What began as a hobby became a beloved business when friends tasted their honey and refused to let them keep it to themselves. Their honey is extracted using centrifugal force, preserving the full integrity and voluptuous texture of each varietal's unique character.

Why It Stands Out

• Honeydew Origin — bees collect tree sap from aphids, not flower nectar — a fascinating and rare process
• High Mineral Content — prized across Europe for its nutritional richness and health benefits
• Rich, Dark & Complex — far more layered than any blossom honey
• Centrifuge-Extracted — preserves the full flavor, aroma, and voluptuous texture of the varietal
• 20+ Years of Beekeeping Expertise — Fabrizio and Pierpaolo's passion in every jar
• Emilia Romagna Origin — from Italy's most celebrated food region

Flavor Profile

Rich and dark with deep aromas of molasses and licorice, and complex flavors of macerated golden raisins, cinnamon, and brown sugar. Bold, warming, and deeply satisfying — a honey that demands to be savored slowly and paired with equally bold companions.

Serving Suggestions

• Strong aged cheeses — the ideal pairing with Gorgonzola Piccante, aged Pecorino, Parmigiano Reggiano, or Stilton
• Charcuterie boards — drizzle over aged salumi, prosciutto, or speck
• Cheese boards — a bold drizzle over blue cheese or washed-rind cheeses
• Breakfast & toast — spread on dark rye bread or drizzle over ricotta on sourdough
• Glazes — brush over roasted duck, venison, or pork ribs for a deep, caramelized finish
• Desserts — drizzle over dark chocolate, panna cotta, or walnut cake
• Tea & infusions — stir into black tea or herbal infusions as a mineral-rich natural sweetener
