Transform your honey into sweets under your own brand
Are you looking to diversify your beekeeping activity, develop your range of honey-based products or create a new source of income for your business ?
From our artisan confectionery workshop in Herstal, near Liège, we offer Belgian and French beekeepers a custom honey sweet production service. You entrust us with your honey, we transform it into artisan sweets that you then sell under your own brand.
Liquid, creamy, crystallised or even phase-separated, your honey is processed separately to guarantee perfect traceability. No blending is carried out between the harvests of different beekeepers.
Your honey remains your honey, from the first kilo received to the last sweet produced.
Why turn your honey into sweets ?
Honey sweets are among the most popular honey-based products with consumers. They allow beekeepers to add value to their production in an original, indulgent and high added-value form.
Easy to sell at the honey farm, on markets, at beekeeping fairs or in an online shop, they appeal to a wide audience and often reach a different clientele from those who usually buy honey.
Their long shelf life is also an important advantage. Unlike many artisan food products, they can be stored for many months without any risk of quality loss.
Finally, tasting plays an essential role in their success. Beekeepers who work with us regularly report that a single sweet offered to a customer is often enough to trigger a purchase.
How does the production process work ?
With just 4 kg of your honey, we produce 35 kg of boiled honey sweets.
A single batch can be divided into two separate productions of 17.5 kg each, allowing you to immediately offer two different flavours and expand your range.
The sweets can be made plain to highlight the specific characteristics of your honey, or declined among more than 50 natural flavours : propolis, eucalyptus, fir, lemon thyme, lavender, violet, ginger, mint, anise, cherry and many more.
All flavourings used are natural or derived from organic essential oils.
The colours are obtained from colouring foods, spices and plant extracts such as turmeric, spirulina, açaï, hibiscus, beetroot, radish, carrot or apple. No artificial colourings are used.
Why do our honey sweets stand out ?
Taste quality is undoubtedly the characteristic that comes up most often in feedback from our beekeeper partners.
Many tell us that their customers immediately notice the difference during tastings and come back regularly to buy more. This quality is the result of artisan know-how combined with rigorous ingredient selection and precise mastery of the cooking process.
We use exclusively vacuum cookers, a technique that significantly reduces the residual moisture content in the sweet.
Unlike traditional open-flame cooking, which leaves more water in the product and promotes softening over time, vacuum cooking produces more stable, more flavourful sweets with a much better shelf life.
Stored in a sealed container and protected from moisture, our sweets durably retain their texture, their taste and their appearance.
More than 100 beekeepers trust us
For several years, we have been supporting beekeepers who wish to transform their honey into artisan confections under their own brand.
Today, more than a hundred Belgian and French beekeepers regularly entrust us with their production. Many of them have been working with us for several seasons and come back year after year.
This loyalty is probably the best testimonial of trust we could receive.
Our philosophy can be summed up in a few words :
From your hive to your brand.
Our role is to transform your honey into artisan confections that bear your name, enhance your harvest and contribute to the development of your activity.
Clear traceability, from your honey to your sweets
Packaging, traceability and labelling
Before each production, we record the lot number of your honey to ensure complete traceability from your harvest to the finished product.
For each flavour produced, we provide you with a detailed technical data sheet containing all the information required for labelling : ingredients, allergens, nutritional values, storage conditions and shelf life.
You thus have all the regulatory information

Because your honey deserves as much attention as the confections we make with it.
