€8-18Etna Honey (Zafferana Etnea) in Catania
Etna honey produced in the area of Zafferana Etnea comes from hives placed between coastal citrus groves, chestnut forests, and Mediterranean scrub that climbs toward the higher slopes of the volcano. Etna offers an extraordinary variety of blooms: citrus blossom in spring, sulla, wild thyme, chestnut, and numerous mountain wildflowers. Each honey has a different color, aroma, and taste, ranging from light and floral to darker with a slightly bitter note. The altitude, volcanic soil, and microclimates of the eastern slope strongly influence the characteristics of the product. The result is an intense, aromatic honey that reflects the plant landscape of Etna in a very direct way.
