HONEY OF CHESTNUT
Honey is the food that the bees NON SELVATICHE produce from flowers nectar. They process it, store it and let it ripen in the ALVEARE honeycombs. All honeys are liquid at their original form but with the decrease of the temperature many of them crystallized and return liquid when heated eg. in a water bath with a temperature not exceeding 40 °.
Honey can be considered a food reserve: only the bees (and a few other insects) make honey.

TE' nero e zenzero per il gusto kenilworth
Il tè rivendica a pieno titolo il privilegio di essere una delle bevande più antiche e consumate sulla terra, seconda solo all'acqua con cui si prepara e vanta una storia che si fa risalire a 5.000 anni fa anche se le sue origini sono avvolte nel mistero.
Il termine “foglie di tè” compare per la prima volta negli antici scritti cinesi circa 3.000 anni fa. Sembra infatti siano stati proprio i cinesi a utilizzarne per primi le foglie e i rametti. Il termine “tè” proviene da un dialetto della costa cinese e si pronuncia Tei, mentre in altre regioni della Cina si legge Cha.
