To the nose, dandelion honey brings a pungent aroma of sulfur, ammonia, and vinegar, with notes of wet hay, aromatic root, and cheese rind. The delicate scent is reminiscent of blooming dandelions in the spring, evoking the freshness of a sunny day in a meadow. This honey is not just a sweetener but a unique experience that captures the essence of wildflowers. To the palate, it is moderately sweet, vanilla-scented, and with a distinct note of chamomile infusion, creating a harmonious balance that lingers long after the first taste.
The flavor profile varies, influenced by the terroir and the specific flowers the bees visit. Doctor Jekyll and Mister Hyde; a double personality in the extraordinary dichotomy between olfactory and gustative sensations. Additionally, dandelion honey’s versatility allows it to be used in various culinary applications. From drizzling over warm biscuits to enhancing herbal teas, its complex flavor adds a delightful twist to any dish.
Mieli Thun
These pure and nomadic monofloral honeys are collected during peak blooming periods in specially selected, uncontaminated locations. Nomadic honeys, produced by taking the bees to sixty extraordinary sites, a family tradition involving trips all over the country, careful observation and paying heed to the tales of the farmers, who are true connoisseurs of the land.
Mieli Thunย is all of this.
I’ve eaten a variety of their honeys and each is wonderful. I highly recommend.
