CHARACTERISTICS OF HONEY OF SULLA

Sulla honey is a honey with rapid crystallization, forming medium or fine crystals. When still in a liquid state, it has a color ranging from transparent to straw yellow, then turning to white-beige when crystallized. It is good to remember that crystallization is a natural process that affects honey and demonstrates its authenticity as it is not subjected to industrial processes. Some types of honey, by their composition, do not tend to crystallization, while for others it can be a more or less fast process.

It has a very delicate flavor, with vegetal notes or fruity components. Honey produced in the regions of Southern Italy can also present a citrus aroma, due to the numerous citrus crops in the region.

Even the smell is not particularly significant: it is often described as a generic smell of honey with vegetal and straw notes.
