Honey

Amongst the typical products of Mantua we must not forget to mention honey. There are very few commercial beehives, and beekeepers are mostly people who keep hives as a hobby. From the point of view of quantity, therefore, honey is of secondary importance in the Mantua area. However, if we consider quality, honey has a primary role. In fact Mantuan honey is natural and wholesome, and is produced with total respect for tradition, the bees and the product itself.
Honey is a complex, biologically active and living substance, as it does not undergo any preservation treatment and because it contains fundamental elements of nourishment. In fact, it is formed by simple sugars, aminoacids, vitamins and mineral salts, all of which can be absorbed and directly metabolised by the organism. As it is made up mainly of simple sugars (glucose and fructose) it is easily digestible, and is therefore prescribed for gastric troubles as a substitute for sugar. It is the ideal nourishment for sportsmen, children and elderly people. It also has slightly laxative properties, reduces throat irritation and has high sweetening power, superior to that of saccharose. There are different varieties of honey, each with its own therapeutic characteristics.
