Rhododendron Honey (Italian)

This Rhododendron Honey comes from the Italian Alps region.

Rhododendron Honey is slightly spicy in flavor with a subtle bitterness to its very long finish. This is a liquid honey that is light in color.

This is the fruit of the work of Andrea Bianco, a beekeeper who carries on the traditions of his Father Mario Bianco. This experience has inspired the MB MIELI D'AUTORE line which has won numerous national and international awards.

Collected in the hillsides of Ronco in the northwestern Piedmont region; this viscous Rhododendron honey is bright on the palate with a mild acidity.

Mario Bianco performed his artistry with his crew of bees in the town of Caluso, located in the northwestern part of the Piedmont, approximately 45 miles north of Turin. From that vantage point in the Alpine foothills, Bianco and his team of flying assistants worked the flowering patterns of the local flora to produce an extraordinary variety of honeys. Sadly, Mario Bianco died in a tragic automobile accident at an age far too young. His work is carried on with equal fervor and talent by his son, Andrea Bianco.
