    Numerous possibilities for new honey products

     

    The Municipality of Amarante, one of the most beautiful and “sweet” cities of Portugal, is a destination in the north of the country. It is recognized for its honey in varieties such as heather, rosemary, eucalyptus or orange that is so special, that it is labelled with the EU Protected geographical indication. Originating from traditional use of honey in the culinary field and due to locals with dreams and visions, who joined small beekeepers and developed their business, local honey and diverse products made with honey or other bee products are distributed across the country and abroad. Today, beekeeping is a growing sector of the local industry especially important for the rural areas.

  • The RiConnect Chronicles

    Check out the RiConnect Chronicles, a review of our Transnational Meetings. The intention of this document is to highlight the ideas most relevant to the subject brought up during each of the meetings. The document is organised chronologically with two reasons in mind: first, it helps readers understand better how ideas were conceived; second, it helps participants recover information more easily.
