The most assorted honey store in Italy

At the gates of the so-called Roero area, which was for a long time and at times under the government of the Savoy, is the town of Sommariva del bosco. We pass from the castle that was owned by the family and today private to an overview of the many churches, which exhibit important frescoes, of the thousand parishes of the Borgo. But what the video introduces us to is an absolute peculiarity, namely the honey library. In fact, in many shops honey produced throughout the Italian territory is exhibited and available for tastings. It starts with local honeys, chestnut, thousand flowers, honeydew to go to the honey of Santoreggia, called in Lombard Wax grass, with aphrodisiac powers, once prohibited in monasteries, up to Mediterranean honeys such as lemon, late mandarin , rapeseed which has slimming properties. In Sommariva, where the drawbridge still exists to access the castle, you can taste the rare strawberry tree honey, to be enjoyed with mature Lombard cheeses.
