Originated by symbiosis between plant species from the different banks of the Limia and the wild surrounding foothills, one of the purest and most extraordinary pollens on the peninsula is born.
From the late spring hatching with the incipient flower of Salix sp and various fruit species (cherry trees, apple trees, pear trees, etc.), through the attractive color of Ericas sp. During the month of May and the robust brooms of early June, we connect with the extreme Galician summer, accompanied by a polychromatic mixture from brambles and brooms in full activity, to lead to the final harvest of the golden and excellent chestnut pollen, very abundant in the area.
Multichromatic color with bright tones, predominating, depending on plant origin, yellowish, orange and greenish pigments.
Aroma is strongly floral and dry at first, its essence lasting over time.
Natural spongy texture before dehydration and consistent, slightly pasty by minimizing the watery component.
Floral and intense flavor, evoking natural essences of the beehive.
Food supplement of supreme quality due to a balanced content of carbohydrates, proteins (22 essential amino acids), enzymes, phytosterols, vitamins (B, C, E), minerals and antioxidants.
