Alpine Honey (240g)

Alpine is a compote made from acacia honey, the bud and essential oils of mountain pine.

The use of mountain pine bud to make extracts, solutions or ointments is a tradition rooted in the pharmacopoeia of the Dolomites. The plant is needle-like and grows between 1800 and 2000 meters above sea level. Due to the extreme harshness of the mountain environment, it is forced to grow flush with the rocks and has no vertical development.

This is why it is possible to reach the terminal parts of the plant and pull off the resin-rich bud. Harvest day is a day of celebration.

The first week of June we go up the mountain very early and by noon 3,000 small buds have been harvested. Lunch is at Malga Bodrina in Ton, where the entire harvest group (4-6 people) sits at the table with the shepherds for lunch of polenta, game and typical sauerkraut.
