Both a delicacy and a medicine, honey is a complete foodstuff with extraordinary energy and beneficial properties, prepared by the bee keepers of the Colli with traditional methods.
Already known 35,000 years ago, bee keeping was practiced without a doubt in Egypt and, according to some documents, Hippocrates used honey as a depurative drink, while Romans used it to prepare sauces and an alcoholic drink (hydromel).
