Honey brands

Category ✔ Checked: 11.2026 · sources: 4 Updated:

Companies that pack and sell honey under their own name, with their ranges and individual honeys, based on producer data.

A honey brand is the trade name under which packed honey is sold. EU law does not regulate brand names, but every jar must still carry the word "honey", the country of harvest and, for blends, the shares of each country.

An example is Breitsamer, a German family firm whose history starts in the 1930s with a small milk shop in Munich's Haidhausen district, where Johann Breitsamer sold honey from the family's own apiary. Today it offers ranges of Alpine, classic varietal and Mediterranean honeys, plus comb honey; the concrete origin is stated on all its honeys.

Why this matters to you: a brand is only a name on the pack, so check the country of harvest on the label, not just the logo.
