Wildflower Honey in bulk
Wildflower is where most large industrial and private-label contracts end up, because the buyer sets the specification rather than the season. You give us a target Pfund range, a moisture ceiling, an HMF limit and a price, and we build the blend from graded single-origin stock to hit it — then hold that same profile for every shipment on the contract.
Every blend is trialled at lab scale, approved against a retained reference sample, and re-verified before drumming. That reference sample is kept for the full shelf life, so any claim can be checked against the exact material you approved.

| 1,000 L IBC tote | Food-grade IBC with a bottom discharge valve, for high-throughput packers. | 18 totes per 20′ FCL — 21.6 MT net |
| Flexitank | Single-use food-grade flexitank for the lowest cost per tonne on liquid grades. | 1 flexitank per 20′ FCL — 22.0 MT net |
| Retail OEM packing | 250 g / 500 g / 1 kg glass jars, squeeze bottles, sachets and stick packs under your label. | Configured to your artwork and carton spec |
Drums are shipped upright and strapped; liquid grades are pumped at controlled temperature to protect HMF and diastase. Reefer or insulated-liner shipment is available for long transits through the tropics.

Acacia Honey
Our highest-volume export variety. Harvested from black locust forests along the Yellow River basin, acacia honey stays liquid and clear for 18–24 months, which makes it the default choice for glass-jar retail packing and squeeze bottles.
Vitex Honey
Also sold as chastetree honey. A bright amber, fully-ripened honey from the mountain scrub of northern China, and the workhorse of the bulk trade: consistent supply, consistent spec, competitive landed cost.
Linden Honey
Harvested from the wild Tilia forests of the Changbai and Lesser Khingan ranges — a protected, low-input environment that yields an unusually aromatic honey with strong demand across Eastern Europe and the CIS.
