In melissopalynology, the presence of Sulla pollen is considered an indicator of the honey’s Italian origin. Until a few years ago, unifloral Sulla honeys were produced abundantly throughout the peninsula, whereas today production is limited to the hilly areas of Abruzzo, Molise, Calabria, Sicily, and Sardinia.
Its light color (light beige when crystallized) and mild flavor and aroma (described as “honey-like” with a slight vegetal note of hay) make it highly appreciated for all uses.
