Miele toscano di Cardo

Thistle Honey has an amber color, with more or less light shades. It is a honey with a strong and characteristic flavour, its intense aroma is reminiscent of the flowers of the Mediterranean countryside, rich in very sweet aromas. The aroma is very rich and vaguely spicy: reminiscent of cinnamon with a slight presence of nutmeg; it shows a very sweet floral component reminiscent of red fruit jams and a stronger and more subtle one like freshly tanned leather. In the throat it releases all its character with a decisive and characteristic bouquet and releases a very sweet and persistent flavour.
