A great product obtained from the transformation of the flower nectar is honey. Bees are its real creators; however, its final quality also depends on the care with which it is prepared for the consumer as well as on the flowers chosen by bees.
The Apennines are an ideal environment for the production of honey, since they are rich in nectariferous plants, among which sainfoin, French honeysuckle, chestnut tree, shrubby blackberry, raspberry, blackthorn and, at higher altitudes, bilberry and heath. The Honey of the Apennines of Emilia-Romagna has been included in the Traditional Specialities Guaranteed.
