Our Honey is produced by bees from the genus Apis (Apis Mellifera, Apis Cerana and Apis Dorsata) and Trigona (stingless bee), which collect their nectar from plants. It is a sweet and flavourful natural product, with high nutritives such as minerals, polyphenols, vitamins, carotenoids, amino acids, proteins, enzymes (glucose oxidase and catalase and organic acids.

However, each honey’s particular composition is highly dependent on the floral source, geographical region, and season, as well as the processing conducted after the harvest.
