Api Latina promotes urban beekeeping, a widespread practice in the last decade, especially in large cities, which has become a tool for environmental and food education: cities offer numerous sources of nectar not treated with pesticides and herbicides and, above all, guarantee nectar and pollen. for bees for a very long period of time due to the diluted blooms throughout the year.
The bet of Marco and Gastone, founders of Api Latina, also embraces the outskirts of the city. Several hives have been placed in a peri-urban area of Latina, where an old reclamation moat, bordered by hundreds of acacia trees (Robinia Pseudoacacia), offers very fragrant buds from which a generous 100% Acacia Honey is obtained.
Pale straw yellow color, the nose is of weak intensity, light floral, reminiscent of the scent of Robinia flowers. In the mouth it is very sweet, but still delicate, not very aromatic and typically vanilla. Used as a sweetener or in combination with everyday foods, Fosso del Mangano Acacia Honey is an excellent ingredient for the preparation of fish-based dishes and suitable for pairing with blue cheeses such as gorgonzola, provolone and pecorino romano.
