100% Natural, Raw, Artisanal Honey
Hand-crafted, 100% raw and unprocessed, this artisanal honey is purely natural. It is extracted from the hives, passed through a sieve, and put into jars with little to no transition from its original state inside the hive.
This minimal processing preserves the phytonutrients found in raw honey that offer a multitude of health benefits like antioxidant properties and prebiotics, as well as antibacterial and antifungal power.
Pine Ridge Apiaries harvest only the excess honey beyond what their hives need to survive.

- 1 1/2 lbs asparagus
- 1 Tbsp Vita Sana UP Alonso Picual EVOO
- 1/4 cup finely minced red onion
- 1/4 cup toasted pepitas
- Sea Salt & Ground Pepper
-cilantro pepita pesto ingredients-
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1/2 cup toasted pepitas
- 2 tsp sea salt
- 1 jalapeno (seeded, but leave a few for some heat)
- 1/4 tsp Healthy Life Chipotle Powder
- one large bunch cilantro, ends cut
- juice of two large limes
- 1/3 cup Vita Sana UP Alonso Picual EVOO

Directions
- Heat grill or indoor grill over medium heat.
- Cut off dry bits of asparagus and use a vegetable peeler to gently shave the end stalks. Toss the asparagus in the olive oil with a few pinches of salt and pepper. Grill the asparagus, covered, turning a few times, for about 7-9 minutes. Time will vary based on thickness of stalks.
- To make the pesto, pulse the garlic, toasted pepitas, and sea salt in a food processor to chop. Add the jalapeno, chipotle, cilantro, and lime juice and run the processor to combine. With the motor running, drizzle in the Ultra Premium Alonso Picual Extra Virgin Olive Oil and a splash of water. Adjust to taste. Add more chipotle for heat, citrus juice to brighten it, and water if you prefer it thinner.
- Serve the asparagus on a generous pillow of the cilantro pesto. Garnish with the minced red onion and toasted pepitas.

The Alonso family farm is located just outside of La Estrella, a small town in the O'Higgins region of Chile. Similar to the Mediterranean, the climate is typically sunny and dry: perfect for olives. The family's work centers around multiple olive cultivars-each of which has its own ideal climate and soil type. Known worldwide for their delicate and herbaceous oils, the Alonso family is firmly committed to promptly pressing olives for maximum quality and freshness. Each oil begins with the harvest of tree-ripened olives. Within 90 minutes of picking, the olives are transported to the mill and crushed.
