Cherry blossom honey is a monofloral variety that is produced from the nectar and pollen of cherry blossoms in the heart of the Piedmont orchards in Northern Italy. It contains essential nutrients, enzymes and antioxidants and has antimicrobial, antiseptic, regenerative, energizing, immunostimulating and detoxifying properties. It helps with various health conditions: respiratory infections, gout, gastritis, skin inflammations and others.

Health benefits:

• Antioxidant properties

Cherry blossom honey is high in antioxidants, which can help fight free radicals and protect cells from damage. Honey acts as a preventative to reduce the risk of cancer, diabetes, and other chronic inflammatory diseases. Research shows that cherry blossom honey contains powerful antioxidants such as quercetin, kaempferol, luteolin, galangin, naringenin, and others.

• Antibacterial properties

The strong natural antibacterial properties of honey are due to its hydrogen peroxide content, acidic pH, and low moisture content. When the glucose in cherry blossom honey reacts with a special enzyme called glucose oxidase, hydrogen peroxide is formed. Hydrogen peroxide is a powerful antimicrobial agent responsible for the antibacterial effect of all types of honey. It is known to both inhibit and kill bacteria.

The acidic pH of honey also plays an important role in this regard, as bacteria do not normally thrive in an acidic environment. The low moisture content contributes to inhibiting the growth of pathogenic bacteria, which further enhances the properties of honey.

• Anti-inflammatory properties

Cherry blossom honey has properties that help reduce inflammation in the body. It works by inhibiting the enzyme cyclooxygenase. This enzyme is involved in inflammation and the process of converting arachidonic acid into inflammatory compounds.

• Toning, energizing effect

Cherry blossom honey consists mainly of natural sugars (about 36.5% fructose and 33.5% glucose), which have a tonic and energizing effect on the body. In addition, the variety contains essential nutrients and enzymes that contribute to its revitalizing and energizing effect.

• Effective for respiratory infections

Raw, unprocessed, unfiltered cherry blossom honey contains pollen and propolis, two natural compounds with immunostimulating effects. Honey is an effective remedy for improving the development of respiratory tract infections, as it both inhibits bacterial growth and destroys some pathogenic bacteria.

• Gentle on the stomach with a reparative effect

This type of honey is gentle on the stomach. Its moderately viscous consistency helps it form a protective layer on the damaged mucous membranes of the stomach, allowing them to regenerate and recover successfully.

• Skin benefits

Honey in general is widely used in skin care. Thanks to its gentle astringent effect, it improves the appearance of the skin by reducing fine lines, wrinkles and even sagging skin. Cherry blossom honey is also an effective natural mask for cleansing the skin, helping to unclog pores and prevent the appearance of acne. Its antibacterial action further contributes to acne management.

• Blood sugar control

This honey has been shown to help regulate blood sugar levels, which can be beneficial for people with diabetes or prediabetes.

• Heart health

Cherry blossom honey may help reduce the risk of heart disease due to its antioxidant properties and ability to lower cholesterol levels. It may also promote healthy blood pressure levels.
