Organic Arbutus honey - Terrantiga - Sardinian food

Features: 

Very rare nature (it is produced in the cold winter months, with understandable difficulties for summer insects like bees), the strawberry tree honey is perhaps the most famous of Sardinian honey. Since the time of Cicero and Virgil are citations of this honey from the bitter taste that surprised the palates of those who consumed him. The plan of the strawberry tree is a shrub size sometimes considerable. Widespread in the Mediterranean and in Sardinia, where it is present in almost all mountain areas, gives very tempting red berries and taste a bit 'sour that tends to soften when the berry is ripe. They are derived from the particular taste jams.

Data sheet:

Appearance:
Organic Strawberry Tree honey shows a very intense amber color, while changes in more or less light brown when crystallizes (which happens pretty quickly over time), becoming a very fine and soft paste.

Taste and aroma:
The aroma of strawberry tree honey is very unique and hard to describe; It can remember the ground coffee, or hints of vaguely prickly ivy leaves. Tasting affects the intensity of bitter taste and aroma. The sugars are heavily covered by its unique taste and fade into the background. The strawberry tree honey has a composition olfattiva- taste not comparable to any other type of honey and those who try it once will remember him forever. You just have to taste it, if you've never had the chance.

Pairings:
Courted by top chefs, as well as complese processing of the highest level is perfect as an accompaniment to seasoned cheese and Fiore Sardo dop, the cured lard, with cottage cheese, ice cream on ... Advice? Try it on a white chocolate mousse to surprise your guests with a contrast from the intriguing taste.
