asphodel

Description

Asphodel honey is distinguished by its light, almost transparent color, which turns white with pearly reflections when it crystallizes.
On the nose, it releases a delicate scent of almond and citrus flowers, with a slight hint of lychee; on the palate, it is extremely sweet, soft, and refreshing, with notes of cotton candy and vanilla. The finish, sweet yet slightly tart and persistent, recalls almond milk, candied quince, and ripe pear.

The result is a rare and precious honey, enchanting for the delicacy of its aromas.

Pairings and uses

Asphodel honey is ideal in slightly warm almond milk and poured over homemade profiteroles. It can be used as a sugar substitute in the preparation of blancmange.

Plant variety

Asphodel is a plant that prefers calcareous and arid soils, mainly found in Sardinia. It can reach a height of 70-110 cm and blooms starting in March, with corollas ranging from white to yellow, resembling lilies in shape. The name derives from the Greek a (“not”), spodos (“ash”) and eros (“valley”), meaning “valley of what has not been reduced to ash,” indicating the asphodel’s ability to survive fire.

Accompanying pollens

Wood sorrel, Borage.
These are possible nectars (belonging to other botanical species) present in the honey in a reduced percentage.
