Viterbo With your hands

Behind the scenes of a honey house near Viterbo

Viterbo

This is the back of a honey house rather than the front of it: the rooms where the frames arrive, the store where the jars wait, and the machinery that separates one from the other.

How the day goes

  1. Through the production rooms with the beekeeper, following the honey's route.
  2. If the season is right, the extraction itself, running while you stand over it.
  3. A honey tasting to finish, with something to eat alongside it.

What is actually happening in those rooms depends on the month, so ask when you book whether the extractor will be turning.
