May 20th marks World Bee Day to remind and remind us of how crucial these tiny insects are to the development and sustenance of our entire ecosystem and biodiversity. From the important pollination, which allows plants and fruits to sprout, to making possible the proliferation of various species of animals and living things, bees turn out to be absolutely necessary to our natural reality. To crown all the benefits that bees bring, there is the golden nectar they produce: honey.
Honey is produced naturally by bees from flower nectar, which is collected and later processed. This product, of whatever botanical origin, is classified as a superfood given its many beneficial and nutritional properties: this in fact, in addition to being rich in carbohydrates (which are present in the form of monosaccharides), proteins, vitamins, flavonoids, polyphenols and bioactive compounds with antioxidant action, boasts anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and decongestant properties.
In short, a true natural jewel that, when consumed in appropriate doses, will not only benefit your body but also manage to sweeten the most bitter days. To celebrate World Bee Day, we at Dolceitaliano can do nothing but offer you a selection of the finest honeys, Made in Italy products and absolutely delicious.
Originating in Piedmont, the Agrimontana company develops its fine honeys with care and attention, making sure they come from unspoiled areas from north to south Italy: Acacia Flower Honey is one of the few honeys found in nature in liquid form, Alpine Flower Honey gathers all the pungent fragrance of Alpine forests, and finally we find Orange Blossom Honey, with a particularly floral and fruity aroma.
Casa Folino, a Calabrian company that brings the best of Mediterranean flavors to its products, has originated its own selection of honeys: today we present the most classic honey, Acacia Flower Honey, unique and timeless for its sweet and floral flavor, and instead the Strawberry Honey, very sweet and original, boasts a high presence of vitamin C and flavonoids.
Honey, in addition to being enjoyed on its own, paired with desserts but also with savory foods, such as cheeses, is used as an ingredient to sweeten doughs and confectionery preparations: an example is Pintaudi Frolle and Biscottoni, made with cereals and Sicilian black bee millefiori honey, a prized honey from Sicily. Both products are perfect for sweetening your breakfasts and snacks, dipped in milk or further accompanied by a spoonful of pure honey.
What are you waiting for? Run over to Dolceitaliano and be captivated by the sweetness of the sweetest natural nectar there is.
