Amamieli Cooperative originates from the encounter of five beekeepers with very different personal paths, who nevertheless have in common a strong passion for bees and beekeeping, as well as for nature and the fascinating territory of northern Tuscany. Working across the Apuan Alps and the historical region named Lunigiana, one often enjoys the view characterized by villages, mountains, woods – and such a landscape has basically remained the same since the Middle Ages. The first signs of the presence of beekeeping in Lunigiana can be traced back, indeed, to the Middle Ages.

The morphology of this territory, often arduous and unreachable, makes it impossible to follow practices of industrial beekeeping and hence, in this area, we keep following the same principles of an ancient tradition. The biological management guarantees controls and traceability in all phases of the production, from the beehive to the packaging of the product.

Beyond the biological certification, the Acacia and Chestnut honeys produced in Lunigiana have obtained the Protected Designation of Origin (Denominazione di Origine Protetta), an award to a territory particularly devoted to beekeeping.
