In the supermarket, honey is blended, heated and anonymous. At Humelie every jar is raw, unblended and traceable to the beekeeper. You taste the flower, the region and the season, and you know who it comes from.
Humelie vs. supermarket honey
Supermarket honey has taught us that honey should always taste the same. To get there, it is blended, heated and made anonymous. That removes exactly what makes each honey unique. A shame, because then you pay for honey stripped of everything that makes it special. Real honey should be the standard. Not the alternative.

Supermarket honey | |
|---|---|---|
| Origin | One harvest, from one beekeeper with a name | A blend of honey from several countries |
| Processing | Raw: extracted, coarsely strained and not finely filtered | Often heated so it always stays runny |
| Enzymes | Natural enzymes are kept thanks to the gentle warming | Strong heating destroys most of the natural enzymes |
| Flavour | You taste the flower, the region and the season | Sweet, and not much else |
| On the jar | The beekeeper, the region and the harvest | At most the countries of origin |
Honey with an address
We get it: with something as pure as honey, you want to know what you are buying. We wanted that too. That is why every jar has an address. The wildflower honey comes from Dirk in Groningen, the Acacia honey from Radu and Flavia in Romania and the creamed honey from Henk in Germany. And every batch is lab-tested.
