Honeydew

The honeydew honey from Fattoria Collebrunacchi is a unique and valuable product, not particularly widespread. Unlike other types of honey, honeydew honey does not derive from the collection of flower nectar by bees, but from the honeydew produced by some insects such as rhynchoths, psyllids and aphids. These insects suck the sap of plants and produce a sweet substance that is collected by bees and transformed into honey.

The honeydew honey from Fattoria Collebrunacchi has an intense and aromatic flavour, with notes of dried fruit and caramel, with nuances of cooked wine, malt, with a weak sweetness, similar to malt, sometimes slightly salty. Thanks to its origin, this honey contains a greater quantity of mineral salts and trace elements than other types of honey. It is also an excellent ally for health, thanks to its antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties.
