Honey
In order to get just one kilo of honey you need three to five million flowers plus the work of a thousand bees.

Abruzzo, thanks to its mountainous territory, is able to produce not only very large amounts of honey but also several different brands.

Flowering plants, such as eucalyptus, acacia, citrus, sulla, sain foin and sunflowers, besides the high rnountain species, called "millefiori", allow very rich production; there are 25.000 bee-hives in Abruzzo and 450 honey producers, meaning, therefore, that it is virgin honey, not processed with chemicals but just as the bees make it.

A valuable treasure, considering the properties of honey which, unlike sugar (a sweetener with energetic properties), make it a truly nourishing food; its components, glucose and fructose, spare the body the effort of assimilation.

Honey is a natural antibiotic, rich in mineral salts and proteins, vitamins and essential aminoacids.

Consuming honey also strengthens our immune defenses and, depending on the type of honey (chestnut, eucalyptus, sulla, or acacia), helps the respiratory tract, the circulatory system, diuresis and the intestine, not to mention the properties of its derivative products royal jelly, pollen and propoli, all substances which contain multiple honey properties.
