Millefiori Honey
$15.49 8.8 oz
“Milleflori” (thousand flowers) is also often called wildflower honey. This is both the most common type of honey and also, in a sense, the rarest: made of nectars from flowers in a particular place at a particular time, it is essentially impossible to reproduce its unique color, aroma and flavors from year to year. Simona, however, takes her bees to similar places that have a predominant mix of flora in order to produce a nectar of recognizable flavor. This honey is complex and ephemeral, with strong aromatic elements of chesnut, dry herbs, and a long, rich sweet finish. The perfect honey for every use. Use as a table-top honey at the breakfast table, as well as in any recipe calling for honey.

Franca Franzoni & Simona Pappalardo
In 2021, master beekeeper Franca Franzoni, long known as the “Queen Bee” of Chianti, passed her apiary to her protégé Simona Pappalardo, ensuring the continuation of a deeply rooted tradition. Franca’s farm sits near the village of Polo, just south of Florence, surrounded by wildflowers, acacia groves, and chestnut trees — a landscape that shapes the character of each harvest.
Simona approaches beekeeping as a partnership with nature. Hives are thoughtfully placed near seasonal blooms, allowing the bees to forage from specific floral sources while maintaining a clean, pure expression of the land. From the careful crafting of wax frames in spring to the gentle centrifuge extraction of the honeycomb, every step honors traditional methods and the rhythm of the seasons.
The honey is allowed to settle and mellow before bottling, resulting in a luminous, artisan nectar that reflects both the Tuscan landscape and the stewardship behind it — floral, expressive, and deeply connected to place.
