A HISTORY
"Apiculture Gianni Castellari« has been on the market for more than 35 years. Mr. Gianni Castellari started at a young age as an apprentice and then in his twenties he decided to create his own company, which is still engaged in the production and processing of honey. They have hundreds of hives in Montebaranzone, in the surroundings of Modena (Italy).
They always followed a motto "quality is more important than quantity" and through the years became the symbol of distinction with regard to the quality, authenticity and safety of products, which are on the market. Their bees gather honey in nomadic way, which means that the hives move to areas with vegetation mainly chestnut, sunflower, and the rest, away from the industry and resources of pollution.

Five years ago he started a new business path, a new challenge. With the help of his children he restored an ancient family reciperegistered trademark and the recipe is patented in Italy, other EU countries, Canada and the United States of America since 2006.

BIRTH OF A PRODUCT

"Il Mieleaceto" arose from a secret recipe that has been passed along female side exclusively in the family Castellari. Also called the "Countess' elixir" it was a synonym for a celebration and not for any kind of celebration, but for the celebration of excellence, which would mark the history of the family. Countess Matilda of Canossa in Montebaranzone ordered to build a castle in 1081 in the area where the recipe was implemented. The ingredients and quantities were carefully transmitted from generation to generation, and preparation was carried out away from curious eyes.
The product is made by mixing two ingredients, which were never missing in the farm pantries in the old ages. Following a historic recipe a genuine condiment for all meals has been discovered.
Unfortunately, in recent years with the development of the global economy the tradition of passing the recipe along was lost and so also the product was lost.
One day Mr. Gianni randomly browsed through the old book of recipes for special dishes and found that recipe. He decided to restore it, since he had main two ingredients in his own production: acacia honey and balsamic vinegar from Modena. So »Il Mieleaceto« has been reborn.
The combination of honey sweetness and unmistakable taste of balsamic vinegar has created a balanced soft contrast which is like a hug and is specifically designed as a seasoning for delicious dishes.
