COSTA MANDORLA

Our bees are Sicilian black bees or Ape Nera Sicula (Apis mellifera siciliana). Descended from an African strain, it was very common in Sicily until the 1970s, and then almost completely abandoned in favor of the Italian bee (Apis mellifera ligustica), which was more suited to commercial apiculture. Thanks to various local initiatives in Sicily the Ape Nera Sicula survived. Costa Mandorla is supporting these efforts for the survival of the Ape Nera Sicula and is exclusively working with the Sicilian black bees... Costa Mandorla S.R.L., società agricola was founded in 2013 in Ginostra, Lipari, Italy by Lukas Ruflin to produce organic food only: honey, olive oil, capers and almonds... With us you are directly buying from the source (we are Costa Mandorla AG, Wollerau, Switzerland and the sister company of Costa Mandorla S.R.L., società Agricola, Ginostra). As the production is limited we are selling our goods on a first come first served basis. In case a product is no longer available..
