Eucalyptus honey is mainly produced by two distinct plant species: Eucalyptus Camaldulensis (which flowers in July-August) and Eucalyptus Occidentalis (which flowers in September). The honey produced in summer is lighter in color and has a more delicate taste. The one produced in September has more marked characteristics.
Eucalyptus honey belongs to the group of very aromatic honeys with an intense aroma reminiscent of liquorice. The crystallization is fine and compact, very pleasant on the palate.
Flavor: Dried mushroom, caramelized. Flavor: Slightly sweet, caramel, licorice.
Pairings:
Eucalyptus honey pairs very well, by affinity, with mature cheeses with a penetrating flavour, such as Parmigiano Reggiano or pecorino.
