Feaatures: 

This is the organic honey most produced on the island (and one of the most appreciated). The plant is native to Australia and was transplanted in Sardinia at the beginning of the century to reclaim the great marshlands; It was a period of large circulation until 1935, now reduced to the regional guidelines that encourage native plant species.

Originally from the myrtaceae family, the plant can reach up to 25 meters in height and blooms in early summer, producing a remarkable amount of very appreciated nectsr by bees.

Appearance:
Honey Eucalyptus presents amber in color with lighter and darker shades depending on the period in which it is sickly sweet; It tends to crystallize in a very fast and compact, with fine crystals and of medium size. During this stage the honey changes appearance, becoming increasingly unclear to settle on a color tending to ivory.

Taste and aroma:
Its intense aroma is very characteristic resembles that of the flowers and leaves of the plant; when picked one is struck by how its scent fills the whole environment with a strong intensity. Its sweetness is less prominent than other honeys and leaves to flavor a slightly salty aftertaste; the aroma remains constant, no intensity variations and vaguely reminiscent of licorice, the toffee, and dried porcini mushrooms.
