The fame of honey is secular, its beneficial effects have been handed down to us since ancient times, when honey was considered a sovereign medicine; according to a Virgilian definition, honey is a "celestial gift" also from a dietary point of view. In fact, in the production of honey, bees use all their wisdom by instinct, skilfully selecting the material, thus omitting flowers unsuitable for obtaining a good nectar. From this precious research is born a very interesting food, with a complex formula: rich in sugars (levulose), it also contains in variable quantities vitamins, proteins, aromatic substances, mineral salts (potassium, iron, calcium, phosphorus, manganese, copper), as well as helping the assimilation of calcium by promoting growth and development; for these reasons it represents an ideal food for everyone, in particular for children, sportsmen, elderly people, for those who suffer from intestine, against constipation. Honey also has the important prerogative of being an easily digestible food, as the transformation of sugars into material of ready biological utilization is carried out by the admirable work of bees.

CRYSTALLIZATION is a natural process of almost every kind of honey, time makes honey go from liquid to a solid state. If the honey is not spoiled in its components during processing, this crystallization is a characteristic of its genuineness.

A USEFUL TIP: for the ones who use it as a sweetener in milk or in other beverages, we suggest to add it when they are not boiling, because a too high temperature will pasteurize honey and will remove most of its properties. Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version)
