Corbezzolo honey

Among the many types of honey made in Sardinia, the most famous and precious is from the strawberry tree (corbezzolo). It is found all over the island and has a bitter taste due to the presence of 'arbutina', a polyphenolic compound typical of the shrub. The arbutus flowers in the period from November to March, thus limiting its chances to be used by bees. Corbezzolo honey is a dark amber colour and has a pungent odour.

In cooking, it is particularly recommended with dairy products such as melted pecorino cheese, or as an accompaniment for sweet dishes such as seadas and ricotta formagelle.
