Strawberry Tree Honey is one of Sardinia’s rarest and most distinctive honeys, harvested in the rugged hills surrounding Oliena, at the foot of the Supramonte mountains.

The Strawberry Tree (Arbutus unedo) blossoms in autumn, offering nectar that few other Mediterranean plants provide so late in the year.

The honey’s natural bitterness comes from polyphenols and flavonoids, giving it both complexity and depth.

Unlike many Corbezzolo honeys, the version by Tiziana Reina reveals a more rounded, caramelized profile, with roasted undertones that highlight the wild aromatic character of Barbagia.

It is a sensory reflection of the island’s contrasts — sun and wind, mountain and sea, bitterness and sweetness.

Rich and layered, with bitterness softened by deep caramel and coffee tones. The roasted and herbal character unfolds slowly, ending with a long balsamic finish. A honey that perfectly captures the spirit of Sardinia’s wild landscapes.

Pairing:

Excellent with Pecorino, Ricotta, or Mascarpone, or as a glaze for nuts and baked fruit. Try it with Seadas or natural yogurt with muesli.

Azienda Apistica Reina is a small family-run beekeeping enterprise based in Oliena, in the heart of Barbagia, Sardinia — a region globally renowned for the remarkable longevity of its inhabitants.

Balancing family, work, and her deep passion, Tiziana Reina always finds time for what truly matters to her: crafting some of the finest honeys in Sardinia.

“Our product is made from natural ingredients and produced sustainably,” she told us – “Il nostro prodotto è composto da ingredienti naturali ed è realizzato in modo sostenibile.”

Depending on the season and weather, the Reina family produces not only Millefiori and Abbamele, but also Thyme, Teucrium, Corbezzolo (Strawberry Tree), and Asphodel honey – some of the island’s most prized and rare varieties.

With great respect for nature, Tiziana works in harmony with the environment. There are even years when certain honeys — such as Corbezzolo, Asphodel, or Teucrium — are not harvested, allowing the bees and their ecosystem to regenerate naturally.
