La Nonna's Sulla Honey with Wild Strawberries - 8oz.
Honey is an incredibly romantic, nearly magical product of nature, particularly if the beekeeper is an old Sicilian gentleman named Salvatore Vultaggio. When he was a child his father taught him the art of collecting honey and how to talk softly to the bees while working. This seems to keep the bees calmer while he is in their midst. La Nonna's honey is extracted with a centrifuge, rather than heat, which is the way common supermarket honeys are extracted. Heat extraction is quicker and less expensive and makes the honey smooth and clear, but it also destroys some of the delicate and distinctive flavors, as well as the beneficial amino acids and enzymes. Raw, virgin honey like La Nonna will naturally crystallize over time. While the bees are busy with the Sulla flowers, the wild strawberries in the nearby countryside are just beginning to blossom. Once the honey is ready, the strawberries are handpicked and then just barely pureed before being added to the honey. Drizzle over plain angel food cake, spread over a crumpet or serve with a creamy soft cheese and bread.
