Agape: Lake Como Honey Tells the Story of a Territory

Agape is a young organic farm, born in the heart of the Como area, specialized in the art of beekeeping. We let the scents and flavors of our honeys reveal the stories of the landscapes that saw them born, delivering them to you in their purity and integrity.

Our philosophy is based on the respect for nature enhancement of biodiversity of our territory. This is why we have chosen short-range nomadism: a practice that allows us to produce honey with a thousand nuances, following the natural rhythm of the seasons and the spontaneous variations of the local flora.

On the pre-Alpine hills we collect acacia and chestnut honey, while we take part of our hives to the Larian mountains to produce lime honey and honeydew, unique expressions of a pristine ecosystem. Each honey contains the essence of the place where it was produced, offering an authentic sensory experience tied to the territory.

Our values: Organic, Biodiversity and Quality

• The Organic: Since the first hives, we have chosen the organic method to respect the environment and guarantee quality. We manage over 200 ICEA certified hives, using mechanical control techniques against varroa and organic acids that do not leave residues in the wax. This care allows us to offer pure and safe honey, in harmony with nature.
• Biodiversity: Our generous land offers an extraordinary variety of nectars that our bees transform into unifloral and multifloral honeys of exceptional quality. Nomadism not only enriches the types of honey we can offer, but also allows the bees to supply themselves with nectar for a longer period of time, reducing artificial interventions to a minimum. In every season, local biodiversity surprises us with unique aromas that reflect the essence of the Como landscape.
• The quality: We pay the utmost attention to the conservation of honey, avoiding any heat treatment that could alter its natural properties. We believe crystallization is a sign of quality and authenticity, a natural process that we prefer not to hinder. Every detail of the presentation is taken care of: from the elegant design of our jar to the aluminum capsule, everything is designed to be practical and recyclable. Even the transparent labels enhance the different color shades of our honeys, a symbol of the richness of our offer.
