Discover the natural sweetness of our honey, harvested in Apulia for an authentic, genuine taste.
Honey is a sweet and viscous product produced by bees and other insect species from the nectar of flowers. This nectar is collected by bees, combined with enzymes in their saliva, and then deposited in the cells of the honeycombs within the hive, where it undergoes a maturation process that leads to the formation of honey.
The color, aroma, and flavor of honey can vary significantly depending on the species of flowers from which the bees collect the nectar. It can range from very light, almost transparent shades, to dark, almost black shades. The aromas can range from delicate and floral to robust and malty, and the flavors can be sweet, fruity, spicy, or even slightly bitter.
Honey is a highly nutritious food, rich in natural sugars, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. It has been used for centuries in various cultures not only as a sweetener, but also for its antibacterial and medicinal properties. It is common in many sweet and savory recipes, drinks, and is often used in natural medicine and skincare products.
In addition to its culinary use, honey plays an important role in the production of products such as waxes, lotions, balms, cosmetics, and even beers and wines. However, raw honey should never be given to children under one year of age due to the risk of infant botulism.
