Corbezzolo Raw Honey from Wild Strawberry Tree Flowers, Artisanal Bitter-Sweet Honey from Sardinia, Italy - (250gr) 8.8 oz

Corbezzo raw honey is an excellent product and it was offered at a good price. I’m very pleased!

This is a revision to my review based on the disappointing absence of bitterness in Sardinia’s famous wild strawberry honey. The seller responded with remarkable and responsive customer service, an immediate refund and an assurance that their Sardinian honey is not blended. I have since received a bottle from a more recent batch. It is a superb honey for customers seeking that signature bitterness. (It’s supposed to be bitter and never intended for customers simply seeking sweet honey). Responsive customer service to make good on a customer’s reasonable expectations should never go unnoticed or unappreciated. I wanted to acknowledge that with thanks and an updated review.

I wonder why this jar of honey arrives crystalized every time I order. I have to boil the jar in boiling water to liquify the honey. Other than that, it is a great product.

I like bitter stuff, and I love this honey. There's something about it that's a little addicting. Today I had a little with goat yogurt and berries...so unique and delicious. I notice the bitterness doesn't come through when I add it to tea.

This is the wordy honey i have ever tasted could not even swallow it…. bitter crystallized and not sweet at all. I have been buying honey every month from amazon’s and this was truly not eatable!! I will order the same honey that i have been buying and refuse to eat this at all!!!

Old because of how honey gets when it sits around for a long time. Must have been sitting around for a while. Very different taste which is ok. Just wish it was fresh.

Seen in an Italian travel series hosted by Stanley Tucci, this very exotic honey comes only from the island of Sardinia off the coast of Italy in the Mediterranean where it is called "Bitter Honey" (for good reason!) As a single source honey, it is harvested solely from the flowers of the Wild Strawberry grown on the island. This plant is actually a tree and not related at all to the ground berry you're used to. Probably the strongest flavored honey I've ever had, it certainly is the strangest though not unpleasant (warning: I prefer full-flavored single source honeys). Sweet, grainy, medium amber, the aroma reminds me faintly of the smoke used in honey collection. But its profile is due to the bizarre flowers of this tree. Not for the faint of heart, the honey has a strong flavor of wood ash on the aftertaste. I really like it for its truly bizarre flavor and uniqueness. Due to the bizarre nature of the flavor, I eat it plain out of the jar as I cannot imagine it in baked goods unless they're savory. Certainly the strangest honey I've had but, again, not unpleasant at all, just unique. If you are a honey connoisseur, you need to try this honey.

It is good honey. The bitterness is subjective. Depending on one's palate it is really either bitter or not really. I happen to find it not bitter at all. It can decrystallize at room temp but you'd have to wait a long time and only the 1st half of the jar will liquefy. It tastes as honey did once upon a time and not these abominable versions available on the market these days. It arrived well packaged and intact. I'd say it's worth a try if you love honey!
