Italian Organic Clementine Honey
Clementine honey is one of the most popular honeys for its properties and organoleptic characteristics, the major productions of clementine honey occur in the citrus groves of the Sibari plain and in particular in the territory of Corigliano Calabro, province of Cosenza in the Calabria region, where this cultivation is practiced in large areas. Clementine belongs to the Rutaceae family, it is a hybrid obtained by crossing mandarin and bitter orange.
It is a small sturdy tree, with a rounded and expansive crown.
The leaves are evergreen, the flowers are small, white, fragrant, single or aggregated; flowering is abundant but fruiting is rather late.
Pollination is entomophilous, operated by bees and other pollinating insects.
The fruit, clementine, is a small-sized berry, also called hesperidium, well round, with a smooth or slightly wrinkled, thin skin, which easily detaches from the endocarp and is orange in color.
The endocarp is divided into several segments delimited by thin membranous walls containing the juicy, sweet, intense orange and fragrant pulp.

Organoleptic characteristics:
Clementine honey is characterized by an intense aroma and a light, slightly amber color with a tendency to rapid crystallization, assuming an almost white color. Its flavor is delicate and contains floral scents.
Properties and uses:
This honey has sedative and antispasmodic properties and is perfect for those suffering from insomnia and migraines. It is also indicated for those prone to ulcers, because it heals.
It is one of the most universally appreciated table honeys, as its floral aroma pleasantly amazes and goes well with almost all sweet foods. However, it is particularly sensitive to cooking and its peculiar characteristics will be better enhanced by cold uses. Try it for sweetening and flavoring yogurt, whipped cream and desserts based on cream, mascarpone or ricotta.
Its consumption is ideal if dissolved in tea, because it gives a truly fragrant aroma. In Calabria it is used for the preparation of desserts and as an accompaniment to cheeses.
