Artisanal Forest Honey (Melata di Bosco)

Our Melata di Bosco (forest honeydew) from Agricola Sandoro is the dark gold from the unspoiled Italian forests. Unlike regular flower honey, this rare honey is not made from nectar, but from natural honeydew left on the leaves of forest trees. The result is an intensely dark, syrupy honey with a rich, malty flavour and complex notes of resin and dried figs.

100% Italian Origin: Artisanally harvested by the beekeeping farm Agricola Sandoro in unspoiled Italian nature.
Complex & Rare: Deep flavour of resin, malt and dried figs with a naturally lower sugar content.
Rich in Minerals: A powerful, mineral-rich alternative to standard flower honey.
Exclusive Kelvini Selection: The ultimate gourmet honey for savoury combinations, cheese boards and game dishes.

Artisanal Forest Honey: The Dark Gold from the Italian Forest

Forget the sweet, clear flower honey. Forest honey is the savoury counterpart: intense, rich and with a depth that you won't find in any other honey. This is the pure essence of the forest, captured in a jar. At Kelvini, Italian Artisan, we always seek products that tell a special story.

Agricola Sandoro harvests this honey with the utmost respect for nature. Because the bees are given time to work in peace, a pure natural product is created without industrial processing, which is praised by top chefs for its versatility.

Unique Flavour Profile & Culinary Advice

Taste profile: Powerful, malty and slightly resinous with notes of dried figs.
Texture: Liquid, dark in colour, almost syrupy.
Kelvini’s Gastronomic Tip: This honey is too intense for tea; use it like a chef! Drizzle a drop of Melata di Bosco over a ripe Pecorino or a strong blue cheese like Gorgonzola. The harmony between the saltiness of the cheese and the malty forest aroma is divine. Also ideal for adding depth to sauces for game dishes.
