Sulla is a typically Mediterranean herbaceous plant, which is grown as forage or with the aim of enriching the soil with organic substances in wheat fields.
Flowering can last up to 30 days, but the ideal conditions for collecting nectar last about 10 days, between May and June, in the hills and valleys of central Sicily, from the Madonie to the Belice valleys.
The honeycombs are harvested at almost the end of flowering, the resulting honey is very delicate, very fine and very white once crystallized. The flavor and aroma are equally delicate, characterized by a pleasant vegetal note.
Collected in spontaneous blooms and uncultivated land in the hills of central Sicily.
