Bitter strawberry tree honey is one of Italy's rarest and most prized monofloral honeys, prized by connoisseurs around the world. This special honey comes from the autumn flowering of the strawberry tree, a shrub typical of the Mediterranean scrub, particularly widespread in Sardinia.
The production of strawberry tree honey depends on climatic conditions. Prolonged droughts or unfavorable weather conditions for bees can significantly reduce the harvest, making this honey even more valuable. Nurapi searches for pristine areas for its hives to ensure a high-quality product.
This honey is not only delicious: it is also a natural ally for well-being. Rich in antioxidants, polyphenols and flavonoids, it has anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties that make it effective in supporting the respiratory system, relieving coughs and strengthening the immune system.

Appearance and crystallisation

When freshly harvested, it appears fluid and amber in color, but quickly acquires a creamy consistency, perfect for spreading or enjoying directly from a spoon. Its color can range from light beige to hazelnut. Our bitter strawberry tree honey is not pasteurized to return it to a liquid state, precisely to preserve its original organoleptic properties.
