Who we are

Miele Sant'Agata

Miele Sant'Agata is a brand owned by the Apicoltura Francesco Riccucci company. The company was opened in 2006, the year when the founder started the beekeeping activity. The honey business was born out of passion for bees and for nature with the aim to produce unique products "as the nature creates" and "as it used to be".

“I didn't believe that this asset would become so addictive" says the founder Francesco.

Francesco is a Tuscan boy living in Arezzo, the hearth of Tuscany. He was born in 1984 and he's specialized in IT and accounting. He has worked for about ten years in three different companies as accountant, software programmer, analyst and team coordinator. After five years of double work he decided to leave the IT sector to dedicate entirely to the beekeeping activity and beehive products production. "My passion for bees began in Greece, during a travel in the Kos Island" - "I did not eat honey and i did not know the bees world" says Francesco. In the Kos Island Francesco met a beekeepers family that has introduced him to Greek culture and to bees world.
