VISIT ALL OUR PRODUCTS

Our brand name comes from the traditional identification of our hometown, LA PUELA (Pola de Allande). This village of about 2,000 inhabitants, is located in the Autonomous Community of Asturias, in northern Spain, and covers an area of 342 km2; most of its territory is designated as protected landscape because of its great natural and scenic value and the wealth of its forests.

We produce LAPUELA honey after collecting it from our own hives, located in the forests of Allande, in Western Asturias. The acid soils of our mountains, the varied and rich flora and a favourable climate provide exceptional conditions for a unique honey of unequalled characteristics.

Our brand identifies us and defines us as part of this wonderful, inimitable natural environment.

COLLECTION, PROCESSING AND PACKAGING

The extraction process begins with harvesting the honey from the combs of our hives. Then, in the extraction chamber, the wax layer is removed (uncapping) and immediately introduced into an extractor which, by centrifugal force, extracts the honey. The resulting product is filtered of impurities using a fine mesh screen and placed in small tanks, where it is decanted for a few days. This removes sediments and air bubbles. It is then stored in 200-litre tanks.

Throughout the process, the temperature is controlled so the work is done within an optimum range, and the honey loses none of its original properties. We even control the storage temperature. We also analyse all our lots in the Laboratories at Apinevada to guarantee the highest quality product.

After performing quality control, we proceed to pack all the honey that meets the humidity content and other standards.

Our products are sold throughout Spain and EU countries, through our representatives. Our main customers are supermarkets and retailers of gourmet food products.
