The World Atlas of Honey
University of California Press (Verlag)
978-0-520-39770-5 (ISBN)
A beautifully illustrated global survey of the flavor of honey, The World Atlas of Honey includes profiles of more than eighty countries and the botanical sources of honey found in each. With text, illustrations, and photos, honey expert C. Marina Marchese takes readers through the global history of honey production from the earliest beekeepers to today's harvests.
This colorful guide celebrates the exceptional range and diversity of honey, revealing how terroir—the environment in which a food is produced—influences honey's qualities just as it does for wine, olive oil, coffee, and chocolate. The book also covers the methods used by honey sommeliers to taste and evaluate honey. Unique and authoritative, The World Atlas of Honey puts honey on the culinary map and elevates it to an epicurean treasure.
C. Marina Marchese is the international best-selling author of The Honey Connoisseur, Honey for Dummies, and Honeybee: Lessons from an Accidental Beekeeper. She is a docent for the Italian National Register of Experts in the Sensory Analysis of Honey, where she received her formal training. In 2013, she established the American Honey Tasting Society, an educational organization that teaches the Italian methods of honey sensory analysis. Marina's website is honeysommelier.com, and she can be found on social media @honeysommelier.
