| • Taster's comment: This honey has a very dark almost black color when liquid; crystallizes after several months. Its aroma often suggests dry leaves and undergrowth. Full-bodied and fragrant, it has woody flavors in the mouth that generate aromas of licorice..
• Properties & benefits: very rich in trace minerals, this is a stimulating, fortifying honey recommended in winter and in cool periods for its antiseptic properties that help to maintain respiratory tract health.

• Recognizing natural honey: honey is still liquid at the time of harvest. It crystallizes naturally after a certain time, if it is not heated. White blotches may appear on the surface (especially in the winter): this is a sign that your honey is completely pure and natural. Accept them as a guarantee of authenticity!
