La MargheritaMargherita Fogliati inherited her father Renato’s passion for beekeeping. All of the honey comes from her own nomadic hives, which are moved between pristine areas in the province of Turin and the rest of Piedmont, across the Canavese, the Gran Paradiso park and the Sangone, Susa and Chiusella valleys. Processing takes place without pasteurisation, to preserve the natural characteristics of the honey.
Since 2006 the business has been a member of the Associazione Miele delle Vallate Alpine della Provincia di Torino, and since 2012 it has been among the producers of the Slow Food Alpine High Mountain Honeys Presidium with its rhododendron and Alpine-flower honeys. Over time it has received awards in national and regional competitions, including Tre Gocce d’Oro.
Single-flower honeys are available – acacia, linden, cherry, dandelion and chestnut – as well as wildflower and honey-based specialties such as spreadable creams with acacia honey and PGI Piedmontese hazelnuts, filled chocolates, propolis, pollen and honeys flavoured with Red Savina habanero chilis, to pair with strong cheeses or boiled meats.
