Italian Honeydew Honey

Dark, intense, and unmistakably different. Unlike flower honey, Melata comes from tree secretions (honeydew) on oak, fir, and pine - creating an almost black honey with bold, malty flavors. Prized by Italian connoisseurs for its high mineral and antioxidant content.

We pick this honey from Apicoltura Bianco, a family-run apiary in Abruzzo founded by Alfonso Bianco in 1987. Today, his daughters Maria Sole and Ludovica continue the tradition with the same dedication, practicing nomadic beekeeping across Italy's diverse landscapes. Following the seasonal blooms from location to location, they ensure each honey captures the pure essence of its floral source—a testament to 35 years of passion and a woman-led commitment to quality.
