Abbamele (also known as abbattu in Sardinian) is a honey-based product from the rural culture of Sardinia (Italy). It is also sometimes called "abbathu", "abazu" or "honey sapa". According to the traditional methods of preparation, honeycombs are crushed, and the balls of wax containing 20-30% of honey are collected in "lucky" containers. In the days immediately after all the honey extract has settled, the remaining combs containing honey and pollen are dipped in hot water (~ 50 °C), so that the water dissolves all the honey still present in the combs. At this point, any remaining lumps of wax and pollen are broken up through the use of a suitable mixer or by hand. The remaining wax is then pressed further to squeeze out any remaining liquid and is then stored in appropriate containers. Th
