This festival, held in the shadow of the imposing Palazzo della Direzione—a symbol of the area's mining heritage—was created to celebrate the extraordinary Sardinian beekeeping tradition. Over the years, it has evolved into an event that masterfully blends taste, culture, and territorial discovery. The undisputed stars of the festival are Sardinian honeys in all their varieties, from the most delicate to the most intense, offered for tasting and traditionally paired with fresh ricotta according to ancient rural custom.
