Natural Honey from Sabina

Today we visited our local beekeeper to get a few kgs of Sabina honey for our italian cooking classes. The region of Sabina, just north of Rome is not only famous for it's extra virgin olive oil and pecorino cheeses, but also for it's honey. The season for honey is now. Signore Bruno, the beekeeper reminded us that his honey keeps "per sempre" ( forever).
