Honey
Italy is a “garden”, it has a unique biodiversity in the world. Our goal is to enhance as much as possible the variety and purity that distinguishes our land. The production of our honey takes place precisely on the mono flora (single bloom) to savor each specific aroma.
To obtain honey of different botanical origins, the hives are brought to their respective blooms throughout the year. This operation is called "nomadism" and as with other agricultural activities, atmospheric conditions play a role of fundamental importance. This is why the selection of our honeys, as well as their respective characteristics, may vary depending on the vintage.
On our farm we also have permanent hives, which therefore reside permanently during the year in only one area. With these we harvest lime, coriander, alfalfa, sunflower as well as our award-winning wildflower honey and honeycomb.
The many substances that make up honey, including mineral salts, vitamins, enzymes, "complex" and "simple" sugars (directly assimilated by the body), make it one of the most wholesome and healthy foods for our daily diet. After the bees have stored it in the hive, it is extracted by cold centrifuging so it is not heated or extracted with processes that could alter its natural composition. After decanting in the stainless steel ripening vats which lasts a few days, it is put into jars. With the lowering of the temperature, depending on the different botanical origin, it begins to become cloudy and tends to crystallize. Even today we adopt this natural process, as a duty for the genuineness of a live food, respecting a correct and professional condition of families throughout the year. In fact, speaking of Italian Honey, we underline that this product retains all its natural nutritional properties, not having undergone any treatment to modify them.
