Azienda Agricola l'Avija

The Avija farm is a young company based in Callianetto, a small hamlet of Castell'Alfero in the steep hills surrounding Asti. L'Avija, the bee in Piedmontese dialect, produces honeys typical of the Monferrato area and its seasons. The dense woods, which have long since replaced the vineyards, provide the bees with sweet varieties of nectar, including cherry, wildflower and the much sought-after acacia in spring. When the summer gets hotter, the beehives are moved to the slopes of the Piedmontese mountains where unspoilt woods allow the production of lime and chestnut honey. Once the flowering is over, the bees return to the Asti stations where they collect the last honey of the season and prepare stocks to face the winter. The company also produces pollen, cold dehumidified to preserve its beneficial properties, and fresh royal jelly, potted as if freshly extracted from the hive. Avija is always attentive to the needs of its bees, in fact it constantly searches for new pastures to ensure that the hives always have new resources to feed on and especially that they are located far from intensive crops to ensure excellent quality honey. #FOLLOW THE HONEY
