Our favorite source for fresh honey is Etna Miele in Zefferana Etna. They have a wonderful traveling store that parks at the visitor center at Mt. Etna Sud, which is only 10-15 minutes drive from our house.
We drove up today to get some more of the Crema di Nocciole al Miele (hazelnut cream honey) that I love to add to my morning cup of coffee!
We also love their lemon honey and orange honey to add to our tea. Their honey with eucalyptus and herbs is great as a cough syrup or to clear stuffed up sinus! Also other nut or fruit honeys are great served with biscuits or fresh bread, or even as a dessert topping!
We serve the mixed nuts packed in honey with an aged cheese and bread. A delicious appetizer or aperitivo.
Looks and sounds amazing. Ah, a lovely part of Sicilian living…
Yes! Did you pick up some of their honey when we went up Mt. Etna together last year? We are addicted! It’s the only honey we use. So fresh and delicious.
I am living vicariously through this website…I can almost taste it!
You will have to come, it’s part of the tour that we offer. But in the mean time Vittoria can bring some back to the states. What flavors do you think you might like?
Poor Victoria she’s become a pack mule!!
