{"title":"Cauda Miele Honey","description":"\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eFor years, our honey came from one source: Mario Bianco, a beekeeper of rare dedication working the hills of Piedmont, whose honeys became quiet staples in the Mad Rose pantry. When the time came to find a new source, we held ourselves to the same standard we always had ... to find a partner equally serious, equally rooted in place with vintage-dated, single varietal honey.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eWe found that in Cauda Miele.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe family's story begins in 1940, in a farmstead tucked into the Rocche del Roero near Montà d'Alba, where two brothers, Battista and Nicola Cauda, discovered a quiet fascination with bees. What started as curiosity about a cousin's small apiary grew into a multigenerational calling, now approaching its ninth decade. Today, their hives move with the seasons across the woods and wildflower meadows of Piedmont, gathering nectars that speak directly to place: the pale, delicate acacia of the Roero valleys; the bold, tannic chestnut of the hillside forests; the floral brightness of alpine wildflowers gathered high in the mountains.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eNo blending, no industrial processing, no distance from the bees. Just Piedmont, in a jar and a continuation of everything we've always looked for in a honey worth carrying.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"miele-di-acacia-acacia-copy","title":"Acacia Honey","description":"\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eAmong the great Piedmontese honeys, acacia is perhaps the most elegant. Pale as champagne, slow-pouring, and delicately sweet — the flavor carries a softness that recalls vanilla and sugared almonds, present but never assertive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eCauda's version is harvested in May at the height of bloom, and stays liquid far longer than other varietals ... a natural quality of the nectar, not a sign of processing. Dissolves into anything, pairs beautifully with blue cheese, and earns a permanent spot on the table.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e500gr\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"madrosefoods","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47465729163476,"sku":"IT-CM-01-25","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0063\/3736\/4028\/files\/Armato.png?v=1769028478"},{"product_id":"miele-di-castagno-chestnut-honey-copy","title":"Chestnut Honey","description":"\u003cp\u003eCauda Miele chestnut honey boasts an assertive bitterness (with notes of licorice and smoke) to the finish as a counterpoint to its sweetness; with a dark color and robust flavor that is outstanding in game marinades and married to richly flavored cheeses.

The Cauda hives travel each summer to high-altitude meadows in the Piedmontese Alps, where the short growing season concentrates an extraordinary density of wildflowers into just a few weeks of bloom. The bees gather from whatever is flowering (clover, thyme, cornflower, gentian, and dozens of species in between) and the result shifts year to year, meadow to meadow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eHarvested in June and July, this honey is strongly aromatic with a pleasantly floral flavor and a fine, creamy crystallization that sets it apart.
