Girasole - Organic Sunflower Honey
Produced By: Giorgio Poeta
in Marche, Italy
Master beekeeper and honeymaker Giorgio Poeta developed a new technique for his Sfumature line that limits the incorporation of air during extraction, preventing the formation of large sugar crystals. The result is a honey with a naturally creamy, silky texture—cremoso, as Italians describe it. Unlike traditional “creamed” honey, which is made by adding crystallized honey to liquid honey and mechanically whipping it to control crystallization, Poeta’s method preserves the honey’s integrity while enhancing its texture. He created this approach to highlight honey’s gastronomic potential and make it more enjoyable to use.
Giorgio Poeta’s Sunflower Honey dazzles with its egg yolk-yellow color, evocative of the sunflowers from which it originates. It has a delicately floral and citrusy aroma while its sweet, intense flavor is characterized by notes of honeycomb and apricot jam.
One of the most popular times to visit the Marche countryside is July, when its rolling hills are famously ablaze with endless fields of sunflowers. The plants thrive in sunshine—their Italian name girasole means “turn to the sun”—and attract bees with their vibrant yellow petals and sweet nectar. This honey is harvested from sunflowers grown along the Adriatic coast in Ancona and Monte San Pietrangeli, at elevations ranging from 0 to 600 meters above sea level.
Giorgio Poeta recommends spreading his Sunflower Honey on grainy toast, especially rye bread with salted butter. It pairs well with cheeses of an equally decisive character: buttery aged Asiago and herbaceous Taleggio. Sunflower honey is often used in baking and pastry, as it imparts its sweetness without compromising its distinct flavor.
