Taste and use

That is what makes this Swiss organic honey so special:

• Taste: A fine, creamy honey made from the nectar of buckwheat and many other flowers.
  
• Quality features: The nectar was collected from the bee colonies at the Dusch organic farm in Domleschg. It is centrifuged by Gion Grischott with the utmost care. 
  
• Use: The young honey is wonderful spread on bread or enjoyed on its own.

Animal welfare and ecology

This is how bees work:

• Beekeeping: Beekeeper Gion Grischott's almost 40 bee colonies are spread out over a variety of locations, mainly in the Schams and Averstal valleys. This means there is no density stress and the bees can choose flowers from the whole variety of alpine flora. Over the winter, the bees are fed with their own honey. Gion says: "Many people think this is crazy or uneconomical, but it's important to me." Beekeeping is carried out according to biodynamic principles. For this honey, he has placed the bee colonies near the flowering buckwheat fields of the Dusch organic farm. Buckwheat is a crop that is ideally suited to organic farming. The white flowering buckwheat fields provide a welcome source of food for many insects. In addition, buckwheat does not require any fertilizer - on the contrary: it has the ability to release phosphorus from the soil, from which the subsequent crop can benefit. Buckwheat is used to make wonderful pizzocheri.
• Producers: Gion Grischott is the manager of the Ferrera waterworks and bees are his most important hobby. The whole family helps out with beekeeping.
