Sardinian Asphodel Honey
It is a prized variety of single-flower honey obtained from the homonymous plant that grows widely in Sardinia. In addition to its widespread culinary uses, it has other uses. Let's discover its benefits and precious properties.
Asphodel, also known as Asfodillo, is a herbaceous, hardy, perennial plant belonging to the Liliaceae family that commonly grows in the garrigue of Sardinia, particularly in Barbagia, but can also be found in some areas of the Adriatic, such as Liguria, but also in Sicily and in mountainous areas (from 700 meters above sea level up to 1,800).

Asphodel honey is a very refined honey, perfect for pairing with a blue cheese like Ovinforth or Crablù. Its fresh, vegetal note balances the typical mossy, moldy aroma of blue cheese, but it also pairs well with mild, fresh cheeses and fruit-flavored yogurt. Asphodel honey is at its best in the classic "Aranzada" or in desserts made with whole or grated almonds. It makes any pairing exquisite without being cloying. Asphodel honey pairs well with sushi dishes, but it's also excellent with green tea, where it softens the tartness of the tea leaves without overpowering the flavor.
