The launch of our Honibe pure liquid honey and our Honibe Honey Delights candies on Co-Op store shelves is a great accomplishment for us.

Honibe Honey Delights and Honibe Liquid Honey are both available for direct purchase at www.honibe.com, for retailers, and for food service. The Honey Delights are available in bags of 20 pieces, in bulk cases or in jars and the liquid honey is available in 250g and 500g bottles along with in a creamed variety.
Honibe Honey Delights are made with 100% pure honey and are only 10 calories per 2.6 gram piece and contain honey's natural properties. Other honey product lines on the market only contain a small percentage of honey (typically less than 5%) and are made from refined sugar. The Honibe Honey For Health line of products are 100% all natural and a healthier alternative to refined sugar products. Honey is proven to contain anti-bacterial & anti-microbial properties, as well as, anti-oxidants and nutrients (Arbor Nutrition, 2009). Honey is also an alternative for Diabetics and for people on low or restricted carbohydrate diets as honey is rated lower on the glycemic index than refined sugars: glucose = 100, sucrose = 68, honey =55 (Arbor Nutrition, 2009). Honey has also been proven as a healthier option for adults and children compared to DM based cough syrups (Penn State College of Medicine, Paul, 2007).
Island Abbey Foods flagship brand Honibe has seen huge growth and recognition in the last few years. The Honibe Honey Drop achieved the most prestigious food award in the world at SIAL Paris 2010, the Global SIAL d'Or (Gold Medal).Which recognized the Honibe Honey Drop as "The Best New Food Product in the World". Using the same proprietary technology as the award winning Honey Drop, the Honibe product line has since expanded to include Honey Delights candies, Honey Sprinkles for cooking and baking, and Honey Lozenges for coughs and colds. Honibe was subsequently honoured with the "Canada Brand Business Award" at SIAL (Toronto) in 2011. Honibe was also featured on one of Canada's most popular television shows, CBC's Dragons' Den, where entrepreneurs pitch their ideas to savvy business investors. The Dragons smelled money in the honey pot as Honibe was offered one of the largest deals in the shows history. In August 2012, the Canadian Space Agency selected the Honibe Honey Drop as one of its 'Snacks For Space' and the Honey Drop will be going to the International Space Station with Canadian Commander Chris Hadfield's December 2012 mission. Most recently, Island Abbey Foods was given the honour of being named one of Progress Magazines Fastest Growing Companies in 2012.
