Honey and jam producers Corse-Du-Sud

A pretty store on the road to Appieto to introduce you to the different flavors of honey. From the sweetness of spring honey to the taste of autumn honey, flavors and textures change with nature and the work of these winged workers. Here you'll find honeys, canistrelli, nougats and other by-products. From the plains and mountains of the micro-region and beehives moved with the seasons. You'll be able to ask any questions you may have, and even cure them with a few drops of honey...

On the heights of Ajaccio, there is a place that should please all the gourmets. Marie-Claude Scarbonchi cultivates her high-stemmed fruit trees from which she harvests the fruit by hand to transform it, on the spot, into beautiful jams. The jams, certified Ecocert, are made from fresh fruit. All of them have a strong Corsican flavour, there are about thirty of them in total. We particularly like the one with white figs. This farmer is present on the Ajaccio market every Saturday morning.
