Blending honey
Many people ask us why a jar of honey says "honey from Argentina, Bulgaria, Cuba, Mexico, Moldova, Romania, Serbia, Spain, Ukraine, Uruguay, Tanzania" and others. What does this actually mean? Why are there so many different honeys in one jar? Is this a scam? The answers to these questions can be found in the text:
Honey is a natural food that comes from bees. Bees collect nectar or sweet juices from insects, which they enrich with their own enzymes in their digestive tract and "transform" into honey. The result is a healthy superfood of 100% natural origin, which contains simple sugars, minerals, vitamins and also a very important bio-component that the body really needs. This consists of proteins, amino acids and enzymes that the human body can use. However, each honey is a little different. Its taste, aroma and color vary depending on the origin of the honey. It is written in the professional literature that there are no 2 identical honeys. Honey is always composed of slightly different sources and their ratios. It can therefore be said that the bees themselves blend honey when they add, for example, honey from meadow flowers to honey from fruit trees. Mixing several types of honey is therefore a completely natural process. In order for honey to be purely single-variety, the bees would have to be enclosed with only one source of nectar, which they would turn into honey. However, such conditions are not possible in nature. Often, honey is composed of dozens to thousands of different nectars and sweet juices.
Our honey blending logic is very simple and identical to whiskey blending logic. Mix several types to achieve the optimal taste. Due to the nature of honey, in addition to the taste of honey, we try to achieve the desired aroma and color. Each region has its own specific types of honey and each type is characterized by slightly different characteristics, such as the aforementioned taste, aroma, color, but also the content of bee enzymes, the content of pollen in honey, the content of minerals and vitamins, and also the ratio of individual sugars - fructose and glucose. Our task is to buy different types of quality honey from all over the world and blend them so that our customers are satisfied. Thanks to the right recipes, the desired taste, color and aroma are achieved. Honey also contains an optimal amount of enzymes, minerals and vitamins. Its properties can also be influenced, such as crystallization, which is undesirable for many customers. This is our task, and all this always and above all from quality honey purchased from verified suppliers and checked in the German laboratory QSI, in order to guarantee first-class quality for our customers.
