請依下文回答第46題至第50題:
Honey is usually described as a sweet food substance. Corbezzolo honey, however, is surprisingly bitter, with notes
of leather, liquorice and smoke. Born in the mountains of the Italian island of Sardinia, this extremely rare honey has a
history that dates back more than 2,000 years.
Corbezzolo honey is obtained from the flowering of the broadleaf corbezzolo shrub, known in English as the
strawberry tree for its reddish-orange, strawberry-sized fruits. Despite the bitterness, it is often added to coffee to enhance
the drink’s bitter aromas. The special taste also makes the honey pair perfectly with seadas, a typical Sardinian dessert,
and pecorino sardo, a sweet sheep’s milk cheese. What makes the bitter honey even more special is that it is actually
packed with nutrients. Rich in vitamins and minerals, it has been prized by many generations in Sardinia, known for the
notably long lifespans of its inhabitants, many of whom live to more than 100 years old. It has been used in traditional
medicine to suppress coughing and bring on sleep. What’s more, a 2019 study found that the honey might reduce growth
of cancer cells.
The corbezzolo’s fruits ripen slowly and the flowers’ petals unfold slowly, a delicate process that a heavy rain can
easily bring to a halt. And because the flowering takes place in late autumn when the weather can be cold, rainy and
windy, the bees sometimes have to struggle to make it out of their hives to collect that precious nectar. The flowers
produce about half as much nectar as other flowers, so the bees have to work extra hard to collect enough. These factors
make corbezzolo honey so precious that it’s hard to find outside Sardinia.
