Honey

Honey produced in the Lake Maggiore area and the valleys in its hinterland is deliciously eaten with lard or cheese and in desserts but is also used interestingly in entrées and meat dishes. It is one of the many Piedmontese specialties. Beekeeping is an ancient tradition here: its origins can be traced back to the 14th century, as historical documents attest. Today our classic variations are made from various plants, the chestnut honey is rich and a local favourite in the fall, then there is our mountain wildflower honey, sweet and light pairing with many mountain cheeses. Go ahead and try them all!
