Organic Strawberry-like Honey (Miele di Corbezzolo) from the Blooms of the Sardinian...
Bitter honey from Sardinia.Corbezzolo honey, from the De Col Piras farm in Sardinia, is made only with the honey collected from the flowers of the Mediterranean arbutus, or strawberry tree. This bushy tree grows wild all around the southern Italian and Sardinian coasts. The spiky red fruit is most often used for jam. The bitter honey produced by the bees that feast on the flower is perfect for sharp blue cheeses.<p>Our products, which range from artisan olive oils and balsamic vinegars, to rustic pastas and sauces, are carefully selected to represent the quality and diversity of Italy's 20 regions. As the representative of the third generation of Ferraris to guide the family business, Paul Ferrari is committed to maintaining the same standards of excellence that have been our hallmark since 1919.

I ordered this honey so that I could make some of the recipes in a Sardinian cookbook....unfortunately the honey arrived seriously crystalized. I'll see if I can melt it to reliquify, but my cookbook (and several others) states that Sardinian Bitter Honey is one of the honeys SLOWEST to crystalize....so, I'm thinking sales are slow and quality assurance poor. On the plus side, it did arrive in a timely manner. Personally, I won't buy again from this company.
