From early March the bees are busy collecting nectar in the perfumed citrus groves of southeastern Sicily to make this regional specialty, known locally as Zagara. Pale gold and quickly setting in cooler temperatures, this honey has a lovely delicate flavour.
This mild, thick, golden honey is ideal for sweetening drinks or baking.
The beehives are positioned on either wild or certified organic land, so worker bees can forage on pesticide-free flowers. This is better for hive health and us honey lovers.
For six generations Michele Olivia's family has bred indigenous Sicilian bees and harvested their honey from the wild flowering plants of the Iblei Mountains, in eastern Italy. Their skill and accumulated experience in traditional bee husbandry, cold extraction of the honey, and the family pride in its excellence guarantee natural, raw honey of rare taste and quality.
