What is Acacia Honey?

Acacia Honey (Black Locust Honey or American Acacia Honey) is a type of monofloral honey, produced by bees that live near acacia plants and draw exclusively from them.

Acacia is a botanical genus belonging to the Mimosaceae family; however, in spoken language, the term acacia mainly refers to the plant Robinia pseudoacacia (in English: black locust tree). Native to North America and today also widespread in Europe, this plant is commonly called "false acacia".

Acacia honey is undoubtedly one of the most famous and widespread honeys, both for its typical taste and for the chemical properties that distinguish it.

Acacia honey has a very low crystallization speed and can remain in a liquid state for a very long time, thanks to its high concentration of fructose compared to glucose. On the contrary, honeys that have a lower fructose/glucose ratio tend to crystallize more quickly.

Characteristics:

• Color and Consistency: very light yellow colour, transparent and with a liquid consistency.

• Taste : The taste is obviously sweet, with a vaguely bitter aftertaste, almost imperceptible. Aroma and flavor are delicate, floral, vanilla and completely characteristic.

• Handcrafted

• 100% natural and quality ingredients

• 100% Italian honey

• Preservative free

• Without dyes

• Without flavourings

• min 80% raw materials km. 0

• Additional notes : Produced by families of nomadic bees, it is not subjected to "industrial" treatments. For this reason, it can sometimes crystallize, to guarantee the quality of the product.

Recommendations for use:

By virtue of its organoleptic and gustatory characteristics, as well as its excellent solubility, Acacia Honey:

• It is excellent as a sweetener for drinks (tea, herbal teas, milk, yogurt, coffee, barley, vegetable milk, etc.). It does not excessively alter the taste and aroma of the products; on the contrary, it generally exudes its main characteristics. In Italy, one of the most widespread uses of acacia honey is on homemade bread ; it can also be spread on biscuits, biscuits, wasa etc. Especially abroad, it is sometimes accompanied with salted butter.

• Even simple or very complex recipes can be sweetened with acacia honey: cakes, muffins, biscuits, cupcakes, pancakes, etc.

• The combination of honey and cheese is famous. In particular, Acacia Honey lends itself to enhancing complex, structured cheeses, including blue, mature or soft cheeses. Some examples are: gorgonzola, roquefort, provolone (also with lemon), caciocavallo, young pecorino romano, various types of goat cheese, ricotta etc.

The incredible beneficial properties of honey

Acacia honey , but honey in general, is a food whose nutritional and therapeutic use dates back to prehistoric times:

• Compared to sugar, it has a broad-spectrum nutritional value , and therefore constitutes a food from all points of view. It can be considered a true gift of nature for human nutrition.

• complete food with highly energizing properties. Contains water and simple sugars such as fructose and glucose.

• It is rich in acids (citric, malic, succinic, acetic, lactic and butyric), amino acids, enzymes, aromatic substances and finally inhibins, which are antibiotic-like substances.

• Another characteristic relating to the properties of honey is that its sugars provide ready-to-use energy (thanks to glucose) and reserve energy (thanks to fructose) and have a great sweetening power.

• Among the characteristics of honey it must be said that it represents an excellent tonic, remineralising, anti-anemic, relaxing (also to improve the quality of sleep), excellent expectorant and cough sedative; it is also able to inhibit the action of some intestinal bacteria that cause diarrhea and colitis, therefore also having therapeutic properties.

• All types of honey have antibacterial properties . Precisely for this reason they can prove useful for their febrifuge action, in colds and respiratory diseases with catarrh, also given the decongestant effect of the upper respiratory tract. The secret is the presence of hydrogen peroxide (also known as “hydrogen peroxide”) contained in it.
