Italian Honey & the Honey Sommelier - Episode 133

The fantastic world of honey and the many things you probably don't know about it! Did you know that almost all beekeeper’s honeybees are Italian? Or that only the female bee produces honey and she produces a mere 1/12 of a teaspoon of honey during her lifetime! Italy has a long history of honey tasting, using the same sensory analysis techniques used in wine tastings: sight, smell and taste.  Not to mention the Royal Jelly that bees produce! Don't know what it is? Tune in to the episode to learn this, and so much more from the one and only Honey Sommelier, Marina Marchese! Head to the Flavor of Italy website for lots of great links, gorgeous photos of honey and bees... and a  tasty recipe!
