Honeydew honey of the highest quality produced in the mountains in the heart of the Modenese Apennines: the ideal habitat for our bees. Honeydew honey, also called forest honey, is a very famous honey rich in nutritional properties. It is not derived from the classic harvesting of nectar from flowers, but from honeydew, i.e. a sweet substance produced by certain insects that deposit it on the leaves of trees after feeding on the sap. The bees collect this substance, producing a honey with peculiar characteristics: very viscous, which does not crystallise. Rich in beneficial properties, it is a very precious food for our diet because it is abundant in mineral salts, amino acids and vitamins. It is also a source of calcium, sodium, magnesium, potassium and iron.
Apicoltura Manfredini is located in Pavullo nel Frignano in the centre of the Modenese Apennines where the wholesomeness and genuineness of the area is synonymous with a product that is more unique than rare. The quality of the honey depends greatly on the climatic and environmental characteristics that surround it, in fact in this place we find an area free of air, noise and light pollution. Far from cities and towns, we ensure the bees their natural habitat so that they can operate impeccably.
Apicoltura Manfredini was established back in 1922 thanks to Pio Manfredini, a true pioneer in artisanal honey production and processing techniques. The family history continues from generation to generation, handing down secrets and passions; refining more and more totally artisanal processing techniques. Respect for bees and the land are the fundamental cornerstone of their production. The honey is processed using traditional techniques that respect the physical characteristics as much as possible.
Characteristics
Its distinctive colour is brown with black and reddish shades. The aroma is very distinctive, intense and aromatic. The taste is characterised by not being particularly sweet, slightly bitter with a roasted aftertaste of dried fruit and caramel.

Pairings
Excellent as a coffee sweetener in place of sugar. Thanks to its complexity and aromaticity, it is perfect with dry cheeses of long maturation, such as our 40-month Parmigiano Reggiano. Recommended for its high antibacterial capacity to alleviate coughs, sore throats and respiratory disorders, and also to improve memory and concentration.
