What Do I Get When I Buy A Seancody Subscription





Hello honey-dependent

yesterday we were to see our apiary hives, after heavy snowfall in recent days: that the landscape opened up before our eyes as he proceeded in the direction of Mount Gemola was truly a fairy tale. It was like being in Finland!
Bees have asked us to greet and to wish happy holidays to all lovers of their valuable work, so we thought we'd greet you with a message and with this beautiful greeting card ... Happy Holidays

Wordings For 3rd Birthday Party

Sensory analysis

In the previous post, as you noted, I have tried to find words to describe our honey through the sensations and aromas that are released on the palate when tasting a bit 'of this precious food.
The custom to enjoy the three (sometimes four) types of honey gives me some security analysis and allows me to recognize and describe in admirable fashion the honey they produce, but if it came across a honey product in another place , what can I say? I can recognize and uncover any defects?
Maybe not, I do not have to judge objectively conoscnza a honey, but to remedy this, we dell'Apis friends attend a course in sensory analysis.
The course was organized by APA Pad, in collaboration with COLDIRETTI and CRA-API, with the sponsorship of the City of Este and novice tasters will allow us to assess and recognize some honey, and Italians can offer interesting accompaniment to cheese in our area . Therefore, in the course
Saturday there will be in beehive, but at school to learn to always do our work better and be more competent in the analysis and tasting of honey.
The course will also be followed in future years, and we might even afford to go tomorrow (chissà!) in the national groups of assessors, but perhaps I run too, but meanwhile I can not wait to begin this exciting experience that will make me feel a bit 'a sommelier honey! Until next time, bzz, bzz ....

The colors of the 2009 Honey Honey


What is the color of honey? Usually, the honey is valued for its flavor and aromas that are released when she tasted a spoonful, but the color that we perceive in the jar against the light?
How about doing this experiment: put the jars of honey from Apis Amica 2009 production at the window and try to assess the different shades of color taken from the jar, what do we find? The unmistakable
Acacia , honey-colored straw with a delicate aroma and slightly sweet, light color is then associated with a subtle flavor that resembles the sweet scent of acacia flowers in spring. Sweet, seems to glucose syrup. The
Tuttifiori with his unmistakable light amber color, with a hint of sparkle more than acacia, due to the presence of a great multitude of flowers that give valuable hints of color to the mix created by bees (and dall'apicoltore ). Its color can vary greatly as each area has its flowers, but generally kept very balanced as in taste, and many use it to sweeten without altering too much the flavor of tea or milk. Sweet taste. The Chestnut
, the plant that gives generous fruit and nectar in the fall of men, which stands for honey amber, dark, tending to reddish announces the palate its faintly bitter aftertaste, by the connoisseurs and rejected by the public less attentive.
How can you not love this honey?
Its unique color and elegant invites you to open the jar, and if you get closer to the nose immediately perceiving that his intense, slightly spicy, reminiscent of the summer flowers of the plant. And finally
Metcalfa pruinosa honeydew , insect valuable for beekeepers, but not for some plants, as it feeds on the sap. The bees collect the waste that Metcalfa produces sugar, and bring this liquid is rich in minerals to make it a honeyed hive. The origin of the product is therefore different from honey and has nothing to do with the flowers! The color is dark brown, almost tending to dark brown, very thick and viscous and the flavor is typically malty and caramel. Dona warm sensation on the palate and has a sweet (but not too much).
Each color is a journey that our eye can tell already, and it is confirmed on the palate. We just have to choose the product that best satisfies us, that best represents the place in which we live, think, we can find these in the Hills Hills honeys, in addition to lime, and perhaps a bit 'of strawberry.
about this fund helps us to know in an area that is not homogenous and uniform gives us different views just by turning around a mountain, which shows how good Antonio to the south has a thermophilic vegetation of acacias and oaks, while to the north chestnut (unless we are in the Mediterranean area just to be precise!)
Until next time, bzz, bzz ...
