Miele Amaro di Corbezzolo is a monofloral strawberry tree honey produced by Antica Apicoltura Gallurese in the hills around Berchiddeddu, in northeastern Sardinia. The bees gather nectar from strawberry tree blossoms in autumn, when few other plants are in bloom in this part of Gallura.
The honey crystallizes soon after extraction and is sold in its pale beige, crystallized form. Its aroma recalls walnuts, and its flavor is distinctly bitter.
It can be drizzled over fresh ricotta, whose mild flavor brings out the honey’s bitterness, or served with seadas, traditional Sardinian fried pastries filled with cheese.
