Animal welfare and ecology

This is how bees work:

• Beekeeping: Organic farming. The landscape around Camporeale in the Sicilian hinterland glows in impressive colors in early summer: lush green fields, a bright blue May sky and bold pink flowers of the Italian sweet clover "Sulla". Our Sicilian partner cooperative Valdibella grows its "Timilia" durum wheat on a rotating basis in different fields, alternating with various legumes, including chickpeas and black, green or red lentils. Every 5 to 7 years, "Sulla" clover is then planted in a field for two seasons so that the soil can regenerate its fertility. During this time, the fields become a huge bee pasture. The beekeepers from Solmielato then come to Valdibella and let their bees collect the nectar from the clover fields. The result is pure organic honey - a by-product, so to speak, of the cultivation of the "Sulla" clover, which restores soil fertility and ensures that we can eat "Timilia" spaghetti every year.
• Producers: Beekeepers from Solmielato on behalf of Valdibella. Valdibella uses the "Addio Pizzo" label to declare that it does not pay protection money to criminal organizations.
