  • About
Liguria is one of the leading flower growing zones in the world, especially the province of Imperia. With all of the fabulous gardens and hothouses in the area, it should not surprise you that Liguria produces divine honey. It is often sold by producers of wine or olive oil, and you need only choose the honey drawn from the flower that most appeals to you.

This firm sells honey from the hills just inland, where spectacular flowers produce delectable honeys. Many come with individual denominations for the flower, such as acacia, rose, and orange, or mixed honeys that come under the name of millefiori (a thousand flowers). This is also a wonderful source for almonds, pine nuts, walnuts, and hazelnuts, all packed in honey.
