The entire world of honey
Honey
Our extensive knowledge of bee products makes us true honey specialists. Depending on their collection area and botanical origin, honey types vary in taste, color, consistency, and sweetness. These sort-specific characteristics are decisive for its sensory properties and the application areas of each individual honey product. Our expertise and international network of Norevo subsidiaries safeguard our continuous supply capabilities at a consistently high quality level.
Origin
In principle, Norevo’s honeys come from all over the world (except for the Arctic and the Antarctic). Nonetheless, our most important harvesting countries are Argentina, Mexico, China, Hungary, Brazil, Cuba, Ukraine, Chile, Bulgaria, El Salvador, Guatemala, Romania, Italy, Portugal, France, Australia, and New Zealand. Honey is derived from the nectar of different blossoms or from the juice of different plants and trees (honeydew). Depending on the type of plant, honeys differ in terms of their consistency, color, sweetness, and taste.
Sustainability
Norevo’s honey portfolio also includes organic and Fair Trade honeys. Their traceability back to their origin is a matter of course for us; moreover, each honey undergoes extensive quality assurance checks before it leaves the company.
The journey of our honey
During the honey harvest, the beekeeper takes the capped combs out of the hive, removes the wax caps, and spins the combs to retrieve the honey. The resulting raw honey is transferred to one of Norevo’s honey production sites for further processing. Whether in our production facilities in Argentina, Hungary, Mexico, China, or Germany – the raw honey is analyzed, homogenized, purified, and standardized to meet the diverse requirements of our industrial customers.
