About us
Le Terre dei Maghi
BEEKEEPING
Le Terre dei Maghi is a certified organic beekeeping farm based in Calice al Cornoviglio, a small village in the Val di Vara, in eastern Liguria, Italy.
Here, where traditional farming has gradually given way to extensive chestnut groves and mixed woodland, acacia, hazelnut, hawthorn, elder, strawberry trees and wild brambles thrive across the landscape.
This unspoiled environment and its spontaneous blooms surround our apiaries. Our bees gather nectar, pollen and propolis from this rich natural setting, which we harvest and process with great care to preserve the aromas and flavor of this corner of Liguria.
The result is authentic, aromatic honey with a distinctive character, offered in its purest form.
ONE OF A KIND
No two honeys are ever exactly alike. Every drop carries the aromas, colors and flavors of the landscape where our bees live, shaped by countless interactions between the bees and the many plant species that grow around them.
There are endless kinds of honey, just as there are endless combinations of all these natural elements.
Weather also plays a crucial role in flowering: rain, unexpected cold spells, early spring snow, strong winds sweeping down from Cornoviglio and Casoni, sudden heat and periods of drought can all change what the season brings.
Every year tells a different story. Each harvest is unique, and not every type of honey is available every season.
SMALL BY CHOICE
We manage a small number of apiaries and deliberately keep our production limited, so we can give every hive the care and attention it deserves.
Our bees live undisturbed in the natural landscape around them, several miles away from busy roads, cultivated fields, industrial areas and densely populated places.
We believe that the highest standards of quality can only be achieved by producing honey in harmony with nature. We let our bees work at their own pace and interfere as little as possible.
We harvest only part of the fully capped honey, leaving a substantial amount to each colony as its natural food reserve for the winter. This allows us to minimize supplemental feeding during periods when nectar is scarce and to avoid artificial processes such as forced dehumidification.
Every choice we make is guided by respect for the balance of nature.
AS NATURE INTENDED
From the very beginning, we had a clear goal: to produce honey as naturally as possible while maintaining the highest standards of quality. Flower nectar and honeydew are transformed into honey by the bees themselves, inside the hive. We carefully harvest only a portion of it, then simply extract and jar it to bring an authentic, natural product to your table. We let the bees tell us when the honey is ready. We use only hives made from untreated solid wood and exclusively certified organic beeswax, carefully tested to ensure it is free from residues. We treat the most common bee parasites using substances naturally found in honey, so as to preserve the wholesomeness, aroma and flavor of everything our hives produce.
