Food & Wine | Something sweet for your Sweetheart with Nude Bee Honey Co.

Valentine’s Day is traditionally associated with sweet indulgences for the one you love. But as you’ve seen in our recent Valentine’s Day themed content, that doesn’t mean you have to be traditional anymore. It’s time to start thinking about the box and expressing your feelings for that special someone in new and exciting ways. One of the best ways I would recommend would be through the power of trying something new. I have recently been introduced to the local products of Nude Bee Honey Co., and thought to myself how this could be the perfect time to try something new.

“Nude Bee Honey Co. was started in 2010, delivering unique varieties of honey beautiful, eye-catching jars. While mesmerizing foodies with the wildly varying flavour profiles is great fine, one of our main goals is to educate consumers on the myriad issues related to this sweet byproduct; mainly food production, infrastructure and environmentalism.”

The raw truth is that this local company is producing not only some of the most delicious honey I have ever tried, and that they are also doing it in the best way possible. Nude Bee delivers honey that is never filtered with wax and pollen naturally embedded within. Their products are never pasteurized or artificially altered and truly represent what honey was meant to be. For the health conscious, it is the perfect all natural sweetener in a world full of processed sugars and artificial sweeteners.

Nude Bee Honey Co. offers four incredible products : Blueberry, Buckwheat Honey, Pumpkin Honey & Wild Honey. Available for online orders, you have also probably seen this eye-catching jars in your local Chapters / Indigo, Roots Canada, in local shops across Ontario, and with some exciting new locations coming in 2015.

But what does Honey have to do with Valentine’s Day you ask? I would say the association, pardon the pun, is perfectly natural.

I would recommend purchasing the Four Pack of honey which contains all four products as a unique gift for your sweetheart. Try adding honey to their favourite recipe to sweeten up the day. Honey adds a layer of sweet and savoury to marinades, creates a beautifully balanced vinaigrette and even helps to enlighten your favourite cocktail.

The possibilities are endless, and with a product of this caliber, you can truly have fun playing around in the kitchen this Valentine’s Day. I would even be so bold as to say it’s delicious drizzle to lick off your partner when things start to heat up on the 14th. Get inspired to show your partner just how sweet and spicy you can be.

After all, “Sexy, slim, and simple Nude Bee is designed to entice all the senses.”
