Product description

Ivy honey is harvested by bees that collect nectar from the flowers of the ivy plant (Hedera helix), which blooms in autumn. This honey is rarer than many other varieties because ivy blooms late in the season and harvesting conditions are often challenging. Italian ivy honey comes from green, wooded regions where ivy grows abundantly and is known for its distinctive flavor and unique texture.

Taste

Ivy honey has a robust, spicy flavor with earthy notes and a slightly bitter undertone. Its flavor is intense and less sweet than many other honeys, making it an attractive choice for those seeking a robust and distinctive honey.

Texture

This honey crystallizes very quickly after harvesting, often giving it a firm, almost buttery texture. Its color ranges from light yellow to beige, depending on the degree of crystallization. Its firm texture makes ivy honey easy to spread and ideal as a sandwich spread.

How can I eat/use the honey?

Ivy honey is particularly effective on a slice of fresh bread or toast, where its creamy texture and intense flavor truly shine. It's also perfect for adding to warm milk or herbal tea, especially during the autumn and winter months, for its warming and soothing properties.

Its distinctive flavor makes ivy honey an excellent complement to savory dishes, such as a cheese board with spicy or blue cheeses. It can also be used in marinades or dressings for a spicy, slightly bitter note.

Allergen information

Ivy honey is a natural product and generally safe to consume. Not suitable for children under 1 year of age. People with allergies to bee products should exercise caution. If in doubt, consult a doctor or allergist.

Shelf life

Honey has a naturally long shelf life. Due to rapid crystallization, the texture changes quite quickly, but this doesn't affect the quality. For an optimal taste experience, we recommend using ivy honey within two years of purchase. Store in a cool, dry place, out of direct sunlight.
