Apicultura Dr Pescia Cardoon (Artichoke Thistle) Honey

265 gram jar - Livorno, Italy

The Cardoon (or “cardo” in Italian) is also known as the artichoke thistle or the globe artichoke.  It is a thistle in the sunflower family. Considered a invasive weed in some countries, it’s native to the western and central Mediterranean region.

This rare honey crystallized just a few months after harvest, the flavor of Cardoon honey is unique -  combining both sweet and sour flavors with a slightly bitterness on the finish.

Wow!
A phenomenal savory honey! Could not recommend this more highly! It is delicious and completely blew my mind! Great with anything, but was especially tasty served with a sharp or soft cheese. I used it in sauces, as a glaze w baked goods, it was even delicious in tea. You can easily licked this off a spoon. It is not cloyingly sweet as is the case with most honey. You won’t be disappointed, it’s a rare gem.
