Franca Franzoni Acacia Honey

Mild, Monofloral Honey from Tuscany

This monofloral Tuscan honey—collected from the nectar of the white blossoms of the Acacia tree (or Robina pseudoacacia)—is known for its delicate flavor and almost crystal-clear color. Franca Franzoni’s Acacia Honey is sweet with subtle fruity notes, hints of vanilla and a lingering floral finish.

Franca Franzoni’s farm just south of Florence in the Chianti region is surrounded by acacia trees, chestnut trees and fields of wildflowers, where the bees collect nectar and bring it back to hives that Franca painstakingly maintains. Franca considers herself a partner in the bees’ efforts: aiding in the building of hives, directing foraging paths, carefully monitoring collection and movement and waiting for just the right moment to harvest the honey. Her passion for beekeeping and knowledge of the local landscape of blooms ensures that Franca’s honey is always an incredible, clean artisan product.
