Mailemu is a Chilean family honey brand from the Mallarauco valley near Melipilla. According to the website, in 2000 three founders — Pedro, Lureya and Felipe — started keeping bees; they first pollinated crops in central Chile and later turned to honey. In 2022 Victoria and Magdalena joined the team and gave the brand its name: mai means 'yes' and lemu 'forest' in Mapudungun. Every summer the bees travel to Huyusca in the Coastal Range south of Osorno.
The range includes Ulmo, Quillay, Bosque Nativo, packs, pail 5.6 kg. The brand describes its honey as 100% Chilean. Ulmo honey comes from the Los Lagos and Los Ríos regions, quillay honey from a tree of central Chile's sclerophyll forest, and Bosque Nativo is a multifloral honey of the southern forest (tiaca, ulmo, lingue). All honeys are whipped without heat, so they are creamy.
Why this matters to you: Mailemu sells just three honeys from Chilean plants, so the name on the lid — Ulmo, Quillay or Bosque Nativo — tells you the taste and where it was harvested.
