Honey

Is there anything honey can’t do? It’s one of nature’s most incredible foods, a seemingly miraculous product that’s both delicious and good for you. Packed with health-boosting properties, honey promotes healing, soothes sore throats, and can help fight disease. All this while serving up an elegant sweetness that pairs as well with aged cheese as it does with peanut butter. Whether you’re topping your yogurt or making a towering struffoli centerpiece, these Italian honey products are here for you.

While we may think of honey as one basic flavor, the passionate bee experts at producer Le Querce are on a mission to showcase the wide spectrum of honey, each as distinct as the flower it comes from. Flavors can range from spicy and dark to floral, roasty, and even bitter—all in addition to sweet, of course! Their Nettari line contains more than a dozen monofloral honey, collected from different flower types that thrive in the Italian countryside.

But honey is just one of the amazing ingredients produced by bees. Propolis, a material produced to build hives, is a powerful anti-inflammatory and antibacterial agent. Royal jelly is the nutritious substance used to feed the queen bee. And honey pollen is a unique superfood collected by bees on their daily journeys to feed their tireless work. Its impressive nutritional profile contains proteins, amino acids, vitamins, and minerals—all critical nutrients for a busy bee (or human!) to get through the day. It has a distinctly sharp, floral flavor and a pleasing texture to boot.

When you’re shopping, look for raw honey to preserve the most of those powerful health benefits and unique flavors. Then there is the world of delicious products made with bee honey, including organic hard candies and honey flavored with iconic Italian ingredients like white truffles. All these and more can be found here, imported directly from passionate Italian producers and shipped right to your door.
