Our story begins with two brothers, Mario and Antonio, united by a passion for nature, animals and bees in particular. In 2014, under the guidance of their uncle, a beekeeping enthusiast, they decided to take a closer look at the wonderful world of bees, by which they were so literally enchanted that the following year the two brothers decided to buy their first three bee families for home use. In 2018, driven by their passion for bees and backed by the experience they had gained, they founded the Azienda Agricola La Valle Bio. Their bees are free to fly over unspoiled land near the towns of Pisticci Scalo, Metaponto and Ginosa, far from anything that isn't organic! To obtain many different types of honey, the nomadism technique is used, which involves moving the bees to different areas. All the honey varieties bear the label NOT PASTEURIZED, meaning that the product is never processed at high temperatures, never exceeding 40 °C. This is why, generally below 20 °C, the honey crystallizes, with the exception of acacia honey, which never crystallizes. Crystallization is a sign of excellent quality, as it means that the natural temperatures have been respected. Unpasteurized honey retains all its nutrients intact, which are responsible for all the benefits that make honey a true ally of our health.
