ULMO (lat.: Eucryphia cordifolia) HONEY
is a speciality of the Valley from a large evergreen tree, which can grow up to 40 metres and more. It is typical of the chilean Valdivian rainforest and only found from latitude 37° to 43° S, especially in the wet costal cordillera from sea level up to 700 metres. The Ulmo tree blooms into lovely white flowers between the end of January and March. (See picture above) These flowers, so abundant as to make the tree appear covered in snow, are pollinated by bees that use the nectar to produce miel de Ulmo, a speciality of north Patagonia.
