 HONEY
"The majority of scrubs are different to those on the mainland.
There is Prùzzoli, Bossoli and various types of Rosemary. You can see entire bushes,
especially along the Valdana going towards Capoliveri and surrounding the promontory of
the Madonna delle Grazie: Beneath Capoliveri and along the coast of Cavo to Monte Grosso
and thus perfect honey is born from bees nurtured by Rosemary."(From the antique and modern memoirs on
