Organic honeysuckle flower from Sicilian artisan Giuseppe Coniglio

On the northern coast of Sicily, midway between Palermo and Cefalu, Giuseppe Coniglio turns loose his bees to work their magic on the fabled orange and lemon trees for which the island has been noted since Greek times. They also work on wild honeysuckle (sulla), thyme (timo) and eucalyptus to produce distinctive and individualistic honeys that are a delight to compare -- either to each other or to the Danielle DeValle honeys that feature northern Italian flavors. A favorite Sicilian way to serve Coniglio's honey is to drizzle it over sheep's milk or goat's milk cheese.

Did you ever suck honeysuckle juice out of the flower when you were a kid? Well, this is what a jar of it would taste like. Thoroughly light and almost creamy in flavor, this delightful honey will have you awash in memories of sunny summer days.
