Local, wild and natural honeys from Sardinia
Asphodel is a
community
of italian beekeepers from the uncontaminated island of
Sardinia that decided to put together their effort to sell their local, raw, wild and natural honeys to the world with particular focus on Bitter Honey.
Our specialty: bitter corbezzolo honey
Our products come from a selection of the
best honey on the island, in particular the
corbezzolo
one, after a tough work performed every day all along the year
avoiding pesticides and artificial nutrition. We are particularly concentrated on producing the best and unique honeys of our island such as corbezzolo honey which is only present in
Sardinia one of the five
Blue Zones of the World.
We are in a Blue Zone Area
Our honey is produced in a Blue Zone area, one of the five locations in the world where people live longer thanks to its diet: the
honey is an important part of this diet and makes the difference in the quality of the centenary people that live there.
We are a beekeeping community
Our dream is to become the first
community of sustainable beekeepers to produce both for the local and the external markets with
no use of pesticides nor additional sugar to feed bees: we only produce natural and raw honey.
We are sustainable beekeepers
We are working toward a
sustainable planet through the integration of our bees with the renewable energy technologies. We design, provide and install our
beehives in existing and in early stage of the photovoltaic plants, in order to help biodiversity to spread and resist to the usage of soil.
We call this
Apivoltaico, a new approach of system thinking, based on the principle that everything is interconnected and human being are a key part of this strong interconnection.
Trust, reciprocity and gratuitness
We are also committed to increasing the chance of small beekeepers to find a sustainable market to give them the opportunity of producing natural bee products without being forced by market rules to maximize production through the addition of chemicals or antibiotics.
Only a consumer/producer alliance can allow the food production to be fair and just.
Our values are based on the following words: Trust Reciprocity, Gratuitness.
We are social entrepreneurs
We are social entrepreneurs that one day decided to dedicate their lives to their dream, to help their people and nature to overcome these tough times
With a plan
Asphodel was born in early 2020 after Covid 19 starting from an idea of a bunch of
social entrepreneurs that understood that the only way to react to the climate crisis was to act fast and locally without demanding others concrete actions.
With that promise, a new company started with the clear vision of becoming
the first Sardinian brand to bring together small beekeepers with long experience in producing healthy, natural and traditional products coming from bees with a particular focus on
Arbutus Honey.
To change the rules of the game
The added value of Asphodel is given by the experience of their people in
technology
and
innovation, key skills for a sustainable development of their business.
Putting together
tradition and innovation is in fact the only way to produce
healthy and natural food with the original taste without losing the original roots of
Sardinian beekeepers.
