Traditional Honey
Since Ancient times, across civilizations around
the globe, honey has been used as an ingredient
in many food products for its natural, healthy
and sweet characteristics. We continue this today
with our Traditional Honey blend. Our entry-level
blend of refined honey is suitable for a wide
range of applications and is designed to keep
raw material costs low. This is often the best
option for customers who want to benefit from
the great characteristics of honey but do not
need a strong or particular flavour.
New World Blend
When Columbus discovered the Americas in 1492,
our world changed forever. The New World was no
longer a dream, but a reality which has enriched
our lives ever since. Today, we offer a very special
blend of honey based on the many varieties coming
from the floral sources in the New World. This
blend is suitable for customers who want a more
particular flavour, characteristic of Caribbean
and South American floral sources.
Australian Blend
The rich Australian environment is unique with
unspoilt beaches, tropical rainforests, rugged
mountain ranges and vast tracts of desert. The
country is blessed with an extensive variety of
native flora and fauna. There are over 25,000
species of plants. Our blend is based on multiple
sources including Eucalyptus, Salvation Jane and
Tea Tree. Much of our honey comes from the Blue
Mountains with its dramatic canyons, sheer valleys,
thundering waterfalls and gum forests. When possible,
we may include in your blend exotic honey from
the nearby coasts of Tasmania. This island of
temperate rainforest and alpine vegetation provides
pristine habitats for plants and animals found
nowhere else in the world. Our blend brings delightful
flavours and is pleasing to the palate because
of its gentle sweetness.
Mexican Blend
Mexico is a land of extreme diversity with temperate
and tropical regions, giving the country a vast
range of natural environments and vegetation zones.
For us this is an incredible source for exotic
honeys. Most of our Mexican honey comes from the
Yucatan Peninsula, which sticks out into the warm
Caribbean Sea. Within driving distance of some
of Mexico's most spectacular Mayan archaeological
treasures such as Uxmal and Chichen-Itza, and
natural wonders of protected reserves, coral reefs
and lagoons, we find one of the richest honey
varieties in the world. Our blend emphasises the
unique aromatic and flavour characteristics of
the Mexican wildflowers.
Argentine Blend
When you think of Argentina, you imagine gauchos
and the tango. The country, however, is full of
blessed natural wonders. They range from the northern
deserts to the flat pampas, the southern Andean
cordillera and from Iguazu Falls to the magnificent
Patagonia. All with their unique climates providing
us with wonderful and diverse, yet delicate and
mildly sweet, tastes of honey.
Organic Blend
To meet the ever increasing demands for organic
alternatives, we can offer an organic blend, certified
by the British Soil Association. This honey comes
from suppliers who all meet the high standards
of the largest and most recognized organic certification
body in the UK. The standards are extensive and
cover a wide range of farming, growing and food
manufacturing practices promoting the highest
levels of organic integrity.
Custom Blends
While the above honey blends cater for most applications,
there are always those who have very specific
requirements. Therefore, we are willing to work
very closely with the customer to help determine
the exact recipe needed. Achieving this is an
art in itself and can take time, but we are proud
to say that with our expertise and patience we
have yet to disappoint.
