Asphodel

Asphodel honey is a rare and prized monofloral honey, found almost exclusively in certain remote regions of Sardinia, where the asphodel plant (Asphodelus microcarpus) blooms briefly in early spring.

Its color is very light, ranging from nearly white to pale ivory, especially when crystallized. Crystallization occurs slowly and finely, forming a smooth, creamy consistency that melts easily in the mouth.

The aroma is delicate and floral, with soft, vanilla-like undertones and gentle notes of white flowers, fresh grass, and sometimes a hint of baby powder. It is subtle and elegant, never overpowering.

On the palate, asphodel honey is lightly sweet, with a refined and clean flavor. It has low acidity, no bitterness, and a graceful, fleeting finish that makes it perfect for those who appreciate mild and refined honeys.

Because of its rarity, seasonality, and limited production, asphodel honey is considered a true gem for honey connoisseurs, ideal for enjoying on its own, pairing with fresh cheeses, or enhancing the simplest of foods with a note of elegance.
