In Tandil and surrounding areas, thistle, lotus, sunflower and clover crops abound.

The calendar marked the end of the school year and the Pereyra Iraola family was leaving with their seven children for Tandil, where they had a farm they had named Aleluya.
One midday, they invited a local beekeeper to join them at the family table. He asked if anyone was interested in learning his trade. Albertina, the 14-year-old daughter, was the only one who raised her hand.
Albertina learned the trade and three times a year she traveled to the countryside to work with her bees. The production was not large, but sufficient for her small-scale enterprise.
Later, she met Jaime Feeney; they married and had children but this situation did not alter her routine with beekeeping.
In 1987, Aleluya’s history changed forever when Jaime proposed Albertina to apply his knowledge of the corporate world and thus transform the business into a small & medium-sized company.
They moved to Tandil with their children and rented a warehouse.
The quality of the product soon made them reach all the big supermarkets.
Soon after, they started working with other beekeepers in the area.
On their first business trip to Europe they discovered that Argentine honey was very well accepted.
They had won the battle of quality and were going then for innovation. Thus, Aleluya was the first honey brand to have their own dispensers and, since then, novelties in the company are commonplace.
