Thanks to its enveloping flavor, honey in Italian cuisine is used in combination with many foods both sweet and savory. One of the classic pairings is the one with cheese because the latter is a sugar-free food that contrasts with the sweetness of honey. Honey, however, can also be combined with fresh fruit and dried fruit, or inserted into cakes and infusions to give more aroma and sweetness.

Are all honeys equal?

The honey is a complex mixture whose main elements are: simple sugars (glucose and fructose), water, minerals (calcium, iron, magnesium, copper, manganese, silicon, potassium, iodine, sodium, phosphorus)vitamins (A, group B, C, E, K), organic acids, phenols, flavonoids and enzymes.
