Organic Lemon Honey is born in the fragrant citrus groves of the Tyrrhenian coast of Sicily, where the organic cultivation of lemons is dedicated to the extraction of essences and pure vegetable oils from the skins of the fruit. This honey is an authentic expression of the territory, capturing the delicate essence of lemon flowers, which bloom on average for 20 days and release an aromatic and enveloping scent. The honey has a pearly white color and a very fine crystallization that gives it a creamy texture, making it unique and unmistakable. Its taste is sweet and delicate, with a distinct floral scent, ideal for those seeking a natural product rich in flavor and tradition.
