The Organic Honeydew Honey by Le Delizie di Bergi is a distinctive Sicilian organic honey, produced not from flower nectar but from honeydew, a sugary substance released on leaves and branches by insects feeding on plant sap.

This honey received the Silver Medal as monofloral honey at the BIOL MIEL 2025 Award, an international competition dedicated to excellence in organic honey production.
The award recognizes the quality of the final product, the beekeeper’s work, respect for natural cycles and the biodiversity of the territory of origin, confirming the company’s commitment to authentic, transparent organic production deeply rooted in the Sicilian landscape.

Characteristics

Honeydew forms when aphids and other sap-feeding insects excrete excess sugary liquid on leaves and branches.
Bees collect this substance and, through a natural transformation process, convert it into honeydew honey, resulting in a product that differs significantly from traditional flower honeys.

Appearance

Honeydew honey has a dark color, often with low translucency.
It has a predominantly liquid consistency and a denser structure compared to nectar honeys.

Taste and aroma

The taste is less sweet than floral honeys.
The aroma is intense, with resinous and woodland notes, while the flavor may recall hints of caramel and malt, with a long, persistent finish.

Use 

Thanks to its bold aromatic profile, it is ideal for those who appreciate structured and complex honeys.
Excellent for breakfast, with natural yogurt, on toasted bread, or paired with hot beverages, cereals and muesli.
