Aristeo: Millefiori Honey

From the heart of Sardinia to the spotlight of Italy: Arbaree’s Millefiori Honey has captivated enthusiasts nationwide.

Produced in the hills of Nuoro, where wildflowers bloom freely and bees thrive among macchia mediterranea, this honey is a tribute to Sardinia’s floral heritage.

Each season’s harvest reflects the changing palette of blossoms — from spring asphodel to summer lavender — creating a sensory mosaic that changes subtly each year.

Recognized multiple times at the prestigious Tre Gocce d’Oro competition, Armie's Aristeo celebrates the harmony between bees, nature, and craft tradition.

Rich and expressive, with wildflower and herbal notes layered with hints of caramel and citrus zest. The taste evolves toward a warm, honeyed finish, echoing Sardinia’s wild meadows and mountain air.

Pairing:

Perfect with fresh and aged cheeses, butter toast, or herbal tea. Also excellent for desserts, marinades, or yogurt toppings.

Armie – Nomadic Honey from the Soul of Sardinia

Behind Armie stands Nicola Alpigiano, a devoted Sardinian beekeeper whose life blends craftsmanship, family, and a deep connection with nature. Together with his wife Maria Giovanna, he founded Armie — a name born from love: a combination of their daughter Ariana and the Italian word for honey, “miele.”

Their honey is not merely a product, but a reflection of a way of life. From the wild hills of Nuoro, Nicola moves his hives in harmony with the Sardinian flowering cycle — from Asphodel and Eucalyptus to the prized Strawberry Tree (Corbezzolo) and Wild Lavender. This nomadic rhythm allows each honey to express the authentic essence of its landscape — the dialogue between bees, blossoms, and the caring hands that guide them.

While Maria gives the project its artistic and soulful direction, Nicola embodies the daily devotion — balancing his profession in construction and design with his vocation as a beekeeper. Working often with bare hands, he approaches his bees with empathy and calm: “If you care for them, they feel it. It’s a symbiosis — between nature, the bees, and ourselves.”

This integrity extends to every jar: Armie honeys are annually certified and proudly submitted for evaluation, a testament to the family’s transparency and authenticity. Their dedication has been recognized repeatedly at Gocce d’Oro, one of Italy’s most respected national honey competitions organized by Mielizia and Osservatorio Nazionale Miele.
