Bio Bio Organic Multiflora Honey (Mount Peloritani)

Sicilian honey owes its legacy to Ancient Rome. In antiquity, wildflowers were the main source of nectar in Sicily, and in most other regions. The honey known in Italy as millefiori (“thousands of flowers”) reflects this ancient heritage. However, widespread cultivation of citrus, lemons and oranges, was introduced from North Africa by the Arabs in the 13th century, which profoundly altered the composition of honey in Sicily. Also, the Arab invasion brought in sugarcane and as a consequence the production of honey decreased drastically having repercussions on traditional cuisine that inevitably was adapted to the use of sugarcane instead of honey.

In recent years in Sicily the honey has had a resurgence in popularity albeit with a quite limited production. It remains a high quality niche product.
