Andrea Paternoster, owner of Mieli Thun, is very passionate about his business and his bees. He creates a true “single origin”, monofloral honey. Honey in this family run business, is collected in a nomadic fashion following the bees from North to South of Italy.
Honey vinegar is made by first preparing a honey solution and adding yeast resulting in a sort of Honey Mead that is fermented before a vinegar starter is added then the slow oxidation of the mead takes place in oak barrels. This honey vinegar is produced from the flowering Fir trees, giving it a resinous almost savoury flavour. Quite unique!
