Monte Rufeno honey is produced within Monte Rufeno Nature Reserve and has been classified by the Bee-keeping National Institute in Bologna as Miele millefiori (mixed flower honey, in the specific case made of forest and undergrowth flowers). Given the bees range of action, it is also necessary to describe the environment surrounding Monte Rufeno Nature Reserve: it is mainly characterized by meadows and pastures rich in several clover species, French honeysuckle, Compositae, spontaneous Graminaceae, and other species characterizing these environments.
