Honey is the nectar of flowers collected, processed and stored in the hive by bees. The quality of honey depends on the flowers from which the nectar has been collected by bees, as well as the intervention of the beekeeper. In the area of Montescudo and Monte Colombo there still are large natural areas, with uncultivated forests and badlands.
These natural areas guarantee a clean nectar and an ample variety of flowers, which give honey a flavor of rural, unspoiled nature. It is the flavor of those flowers which, thanks to the nectar stored in them, bees allow us to enjoy.
