Meli
Meli is a Belgian honey brand of Meli NV from Veurne in West Flanders.
Meli is a Belgian honey brand of Meli NV from Veurne in West Flanders. The brand's story begins in 1925, when beekeeper Alberic Joseph Florizoone started selling honey from his parents' garden to neighbours in Veurne-Ambacht. He coined the name Meli as an anagram of the French word miel; in 1935 he opened the Bee Palace in Adinkerke, which later grew into the Meli Park amusement park. Blending and the house taste that the Florizoone family refined more than 100 years ago are still done in Belgium.
The range includes Meli honey (liquid, set, squeeze bottle), Bio, Acacia, Thyme, origin honeys (Belgium, Greece, Sicily, Andalusia, Algarve), honey cake, filled honey waffles. Meli honey is a blend of honeys from EU and non-EU countries, hence the 'Mixed EU/non-EU honey' wording on the jars. The brand also sells single-origin honeys from Belgium, Greece, Sicily, Andalusia and the Algarve.
Why this matters to you: Meli offers both its classic blend and single-origin honeys, and the label wording tells the two apart.
