Organic Acacia Honey by La Ginestra 500g - Italian Acacia
Honey
Brand: La Ginestra
Acacia honey is very pale with a sweet, delicate
floral flavour and therefore one of the most popular honey
varieties. It is a good choice for mixing with drinks because it
will sweeten them without changing the taste of the drink. It is
also a great choice for cooking because of its mild flavour. The
high concentration of fructose and low sucrose content also makes
it a good choice for diabetics. Acacia honey is also known for its
therapeutic qualities because it cleanses the liver, conditions the
intestines and also contains ant-inflammatory properties for the
throat. It's also a perfect honey to eat with cheeses, especially
pecorino. Our producer - La Ginestra Our honey comes from a
Cooperative in Tuscany called La Ginestra, founded in 1978 by a
group of young people who wanted to preserve and renew the
traditions of the Tuscan countryside. Established on a farm that
had been abandoned for decades, it took the name form the beautiful
yellow bushes of wild broom that at that time filled the
uncultivated fields. Since 1989 the farm has been organic, using
eco-compatible methods of production in accordance with EC
regulations. Beekeeping is one of the farms main spheres of
activity, producing 6 varieties of single flower honey from the
uncontaminated pastures and woodlands of Tuscany: Acacia, Chestnut,
Wildflower, Forest flower, Eucalyptus and Heather. The honey is
produced with the organic agriculture methods that prevent the use
of any synthetic products or chemicals to treat and care for the
bees, plastic has also been abolished with the bees only coming
into contact with wood, metal and wax. The beehives are kept in
wooded areas far away from urban and intensively farmed areas.
After the extraction of the honeycombs they filter and separate to
eliminate impurities and air that can sometimes remain. The honey
is then packed in a liquid state (after a little heating under 40
degrees if it is too dense or cold).
