Country of Origin: Italy
Region: Piedmont
City / Village: Elva
Flavor Profile: Mild
Method of Production: Certified Organic (EU)
Honey Source: Acacia
From Apicoltura Floriano Turco in the town of Elva amidst the Italian
Alps near the border with France. These honeys are true artisanal
products where one man tends to his hives, collects the comb and
produces some of the best varietal honeys we have tasted.
All
of his honey is certified by BioCert for its adherence to sustainable
agricultural standards (an EU designation comparable to the U.S.
organic, but with much more stringent requirements).
Floriano's acacia honey is a light straw color with a sunshiny clarity to its liquid consistency. Its flavors are both floral and citrusy. This is a wonderful all-around honey that can be used in tea, on toast or blended with plain yogurt.
Apicoltura Turco Floriano
On one of his annual trips to the Piedmont region of Italy, Ihsan visited with several of our old friends, including Matteo Ascheri (who you may have read about in our November 2006 newsletter).
As is often the case, Matteo introduced us to a couple of wonderful honey producers from the region: Dario Pozzolo and Floriano Turco.
The Italian Alps near the border with France are where Floriano brings his hives to collect the pollen from a variety of blossoms including rhododendron, acacia, tiglio (linden), ailanto (ailanthus), castagno (chestnut), tarassaco (dandelion), and melata di bosco.
The label on each jar shows a the beautiful European Bee-eater or Gruccione in Italy perched next to a honey bee. Floriano chose this design as a representation of the important symbiosis of the predator in the bird and the honey producer in the bee.
Floriano takes pride in his sustainable approaches to his honey harvesting and all of his honeys are certified "biologica".
