The story of propolis: an ingredient with tradition
Propolis has been used since ancient times in many cultures. Mediterranean, Egyptian, and Near Eastern civilizations already valued this resin for its unique composition and its close relationship with beekeeping.
Over time, propolis became a common element inside the hive, where bees produce it to seal, protect, and maintain their environment. Its complex mix of plant resins, waxes, and aromatic compounds has historically made it a particularly valuable ingredient.
Interest in propolis grew especially from the 20th century onwards, when its characteristic compounds and potential within contemporary nutrition began to be analyzed.
