Famille Michaud is a French family-owned company from Gan in Béarn, at the foot of the Pyrenees. It was founded in 1920 by Yves Michaud, an engineer and beekeeper. The company buys honey in France and abroad, jars it at its own site and sells it under several brands, among them Lune de Miel, Miel l'Apiculteur, Beeliz and La Ruche aux Délices.
The company states that it analyses every honey it jars, checking that the floral name and the geographic origin on the label are correct. Its honeys are harvested mainly in France, Spain, Hungary, Ukraine, Romania and Bulgaria, depending on the brand. Besides honey it sells maple and agave syrups.
Why this matters to you: the label names the floral and geographic origin of the honey, which the company says it has verified by analysis, so brands from the same producer can be compared by origin.
