Mario Bianco

Founder Mario Bianco ‘s son Andrea practices mountain nomadic beekeeping with passion, placing his hives in the valleys of Turin and the Cnavese area where the finest blossoms are to be found. Hence honeys that are popular even at international level, including wild flower, Alpine lime, rhododendron and chestnut. The latest challenge is the production of rare 100% allanthus honey from the hives in the Turin hills, a honey (and mead) suitable for ice creams and beers. Bianco enjoys carrying out his experiments in collaboration with other craft producers and presenting them in the garden of the main farm building in the centre of Caluso, a small corner of biodiversity. After all, passion for the environment and plants has been a family tradition for four generations: at the end of the nineteenth century, in fact, Andrea’s great grandfather was a teacher at the Caluso Institute of Agriculture, one of the first in Italy. The farm shop is open from Monday to Saturday from 9am to 12 midday and 3pm to 7pm (closed on Saturday afternoon).
