HISTORY
  The origin of Serramel dates back to 1898, the year in which Jorge de Almeida Lima acquired his first beehives and explored them in Quinta do Lameiro, his country estate in the outskirts of Lisbon.
In 1974, two of Jorge Almeida Lima’s great-grandsons decided to restore the old hives, dedicating themselves with body and soul to the beekeeping activity. From Lisbon they moved to Penamacor in Beira Baixa, choosing as Serramel terroir the magnificent landscapes of Serra da Malcata.

 

Serra da Malcata

Our Habitat is Serra da Malcata, a 21,000 hectare Natural Reserve. Its relief is undulated, with oak forests to the north and large areas of mediterranean thicket, with aboundant heathers and wild lavender. It is the seventh elevation of Continental Portugal and there springs the Bazágueda river, an affluent of Erges. It is in this environment that our bees extract their so appreciated products, in a space of low human activity, where Nature is intact and admirable.

Our processes

Our bee products: Honey, Pollen and Propolis Serramel, are produced by bees in Portugal and bring to you the simple and pure Nature.
Honey is extracted from the combs by traditional means, pollen is collected in the pollen traps and carefully dried and cleaned in our facilities. Their natural flavours remind us of flowers, trees, resin and earth aromas which transport us to their origin.
