Breitsamer
Also known as: Breitsamer Honig
Breitsamer is a Bavarian family honey brand from Munich: its history goes back to the 1930s, it is run by the third generation, and honey is packed in Markt Erlbach near Nuremberg.
Breitsamer is a German family honey company based in Munich. Its history starts in the 1930s, when Johann Breitsamer ran a small milk shop in Munich's Haidhausen district and sold honey from the family's own apiary. After the war the family's own honey was not enough, so honey was bought from other beekeepers, mainly in southern Bavaria.
In the 1950s Georg Ulrich from Nuremberg began bottling and trading honey in Franconia, and the two families joined as Breitsamer & Ulrich GmbH & Co. KG. Hans Breitsamer brought a stirring technique for especially creamy honey back from a trip to the USA. The modern bottling plant with its own laboratory is in Markt Erlbach near Nuremberg. The third generation, Robert Breitsamer and Thomas Ulrich, runs the company, which is certified to IFS Food.
The range covers Alpine honeys, classic varietal honeys such as Acacia honey, Mediterranean honeys, Fairtrade breakfast honeys, honeycomb, Tasmanian honey, and honey pots and dispensers.
Why this matters to you: the concrete origin is stated on all Breitsamer honeys, and the country of harvest is what you should check on the label of any honey.
