Dolce Alveare honey is produced by Co.A.Si Co-op. Founded in 1997, the consortium is made up of a group of honey producers from Mt. Etna, on the island of Sicily. Located in the town of Zafferana Etnea, it is known as "the town of honey." This area produces 15% of the national product of honey.

Sicilian honey is best known for its quality and variety. Dolce Alveare honey is made from lemon and orange trees growing on the hills outside Mt. Etna. The honey is extracted from the comb using centrifuge. In order to supply a consistent product, the honey is very closely controlled through every aspect of production. While the honey is not classified as organic, it is produced without pesticides or herbicides.
