Honey
An aroma of dried chamomile, dominated by animal scents, tannins, and quinine. The palate reveals a bitter, slightly astringent taste, with notes of wood, moist tobacco, carob, and cocoa beans. Despite its floral origin, its parameters resemble those of honeydews. Usually crystallizes slowly and in the presence of blackberry nectar.

Accompaniments
With cottage or soft cheese, bloomy or washed rinds, and it exalts the sweetness of a Trentino grana cheese.

In the kitchen
In the filling for pumpkin tortelli, to treat fatty liver or with lightly smoked foods. Lukewarm, it provides the perfect contrast in a persimmon mousse. Delicious blended into fresh whipped ricotta cheese. In all dishes with hazelnuts, in starters for heritage doughs, excellent in dough for rye bread.
