Italian lime honey is a monofloral honey with a light color, ranging from straw yellow to golden. It has a fresh and balsamic aroma, with menthol and floral notes. The flavor is sweet, with a slightly bitter and refreshing aftertaste. Produced mainly in mountainous and hilly regions, this honey is known for its calming and relaxing properties, and is often used to sweeten herbal teas or consumed alone to promote rest and relieve cold symptoms.
Linden honey.![]()
Liquid lime honey has a light amber color, sometimes with green reflections, this honey is quite sweet, with a fairly intense and fresh flavor and an aroma similar to mint.
Lime honey is a summer honey and lasts a few months in the liquid state, so if you find it liquid in winter you should assume that it has been manipulated, at least heated, remember that some of the beneficial properties attributed to honey are thermolabile, so if you are taking honey as a cure more than for taste reasons you should keep this in mind. Once again: crystallization is a natural process and not a defect. The flavor of lime honey is sweet and aromatic, the aroma resembles that of fresh mint, for this reason it is among the most used to sweeten herbal teas. Obviously what was explained above about heat also applies to herbal teas, if you are adding linden honey (or any other honey) to a herbal tea as an alternative sweetener to sugar but you also want to take full advantage of all the beneficial properties attributed to honey, you should add it to the herbal tea when it is at room temperature. In cooking, given its fairly strong flavor and balsamic notes, linden honey is used both to give sweet notes to savory dishes and in combination with sweet ones, in the case of cheeses it obviously goes perfectly with the more mature ones, even parmesan, which can stand the combination with such a fragrant honey.
Essentially to some extent all those generically attributed to honey, but in particular to linden honey are attributed calming properties. We must be precise, there are no scientific studies that confirm this, essentially the popular belief was based on the fact that linden really has these calming properties and therefore it is assumed that a honey produced by bees starting from only linden nectar should have the same properties. Therefore a typical use of linden honey is to use it to sweeten calming herbal teas in which linden is also present in the belief that in addition to sweetening having inherited its calming properties it increases the effect.
