100% Piemonte Linden Honey, Miele Piemontese di Tiglio - 8.8 oz (250 g), by Tealdi, from Italy.

The Linden tree, also known as the basswood tree in North America and the lime tree in Britain and Ireland, has historically symbolized life, health, justice, victory, fertility, and European community gatherings. With lifespans exceeding a thousand years, they often stood at town centers, hosting generations of social events and meetings. Linden trees can grow over 100 feet tall, with large, heart-shaped leaves and sweet-smelling blossoms reminiscent of mignonette. In humid summers, they are called "bee trees" due to their abundant nectar that attracts many bees.

Tealdi's pure linden monofloral honey is harvested from Piedmont, a region famed for its single-flower honey. The bees collect nectar from the plentiful linden trees, producing a distinctively aromatic and flavorful honey. Tealdi's Piedmontese linden honey is smooth with a clear amber hue and boasts a robust aroma. Its flavor is subtle, fresh, and mildly woody, with a slightly minty finish.
