Amal — "Hope" — is a beekeeping cooperative whose
hives are placed across the uncultivated hillsides and river valleys of the
Oriental Region, following the seasonal flowering of wild plants: euphorbia,
jujube, sidr, wild thyme, and forest flowers. No single harvest produces the
same honey twice.
The cooperative's bees forage freely across land that is never
treated with pesticides — not by policy, but by geography. The hills above the
Melloulou and its tributaries are too rugged and too far from irrigated
farmland to be affected by agricultural chemicals. This natural isolation is
the cooperative's most important quality guarantee.
Amal works with traditional wooden hives alongside modern
Langstroth equipment, and honey is extracted by cold centrifuge without heat
treatment. The result is raw honey that retains its enzymes, pollen, and
aromatic compounds intact.
What they make: Raw monofloral and polyfloral honeys —
Euphorbia, Jujube (Sidr), wild Rosemary and Thyme, and seasonal forest honey.
Propolis and beeswax available on request.
