Introduction

Honey is the result of the natural work of bees, which transform flowers’ secretions (nectar) and te secretions of certain insects (honeydew). Its delicious flavour derives from the hard work of the bees to produce it and by men’s actions to extract it. Honey’s extraction provides a centrifugation, a rest in the deposits and then honey is placed in the jars. These are the only processes that maintain intact the characteristics of organic honey and consume it in its natural form.
