Lime honey is produced between June and July from the flowers of wild lime trees. The peculiarity that makes this honey easily recognizable is the menthol aroma, clearly perceptible both on the olfactory and, above all, on the taste.
The marked aroma is accompanied by a sensation of diffused freshness, a persistent aroma, with almost balsamic scents, of medicinal herbs and fresh spices. Lime honey preserves the natural properties typical of the flowers from which it is born. For this reason it is the most suitable honey for the evening herbal tea.

Lime honey owes its unmistakable scent to the presence of more than 100 different aromatic substances. Lime flowers are among the most attractive of all for bees who prefer them to any other contemporary flowering. For this reason it is possible to produce pure lime honey even in the presence of other plants that bloom in the same period and in the same places (primarily the chestnut).

Flower (Latin): Tilia (Tiliaceae)
