Why Strawberry Tree Honey Is Bitter – And Why It’s Special
Unlike conventional sweet honey, corbezzolo honey has a distinctive bitter finish. This comes from its naturally high concentration of polyphenols and arbutin — powerful antioxidant compounds studied for their protective properties.
Key characteristics:
- High antioxidant content
- Natural antibacterial properties
- Supports immune system balance
- Lower glycemic impact compared to refined sugar
- Deep amber color and intense aromatic profile
Its complex taste pairs beautifully with aged Sardinian pecorino cheese, fresh ricotta and artisanal bread.
