The "Melata di Bosco", a product of "L Ape e L Orso" farm , is, as the name suggests, produced from the sap of the pine trees typical to the high-mountain Abruzzo region. This variety is produced under specific conditions, including drier summers, and cool altitudes.
The melata is gathered from the bees that feed on a varying array of forest trees; including oak, chestnut, beech, and lime. The color of the honey is a dark amber, with a scent decidedly of the forest, with a pleasant aftertaste of the surrounding wildflowers.
