Honey from Åland
Our honey gets its rich taste from the pure Ålandic nature. The taste varies slightly from year to year and between the apiaries. We received eco-certificates in 2022. Responsiblely produced honey is climate-smart and environmentally friendly alternative to sugar. Honey is a natural sweetener containing 330 kcal/100g energy compared to 406 kcal/100g in sugar. Honey is sweeter than sugar and in many cases you can replace 1dl of sugar with 3/4dl of honey. Honey also contains pollen, vitamins, minerals and many healthy enzymes.

All honey we sell is 100% unheated honey. In Finland, the word raw honey may not be used in the marketing of honey. Most of the honey sold in the Nordic countries is creamed, soft honey. Our old-fashioned honey is simply just extracted, strained honey, like old days before creaming became common practice in Nordic countries.

Pure beeswax from Åland
is the bees’ own product. Worker bees have eight wax glands at the bottom of their abdomen. They produce wax in small flakes that are almost colorless. The size of the flakes varies between 0.2 and 1.3 milligrams and for one kilogram of beeswax about 2,000,000 wax flakes are needed. Beeswax is therefore a valuable raw material. A bee community produces about 500 g of beeswax every year. To produce one kilogram of beeswax, the bees use approx. 5-10kg of honey.
