It is made by using the flowers of the corbezzolo shrub. Although it might sound easy to be obtained, the process is indeed so difficult to be done. This type of flower needs to have certain optimum weather conditions to be done. Other than that, the bees also might have some difficulties collecting the nectar due to the shape of the small flowers.
