Honey:
Multifloral honey of diverse origin, made without any additions or changes and with retention of all valuable substances.
The basic honey in barrels is prepared liquid and free of crystals by means of fast decrystallisation with filtration at 200 micron, immediate cooling with recovery of the aroma and, to conclude, packing in new containers.Ready for immediate use in food products. Guarantee of non-crystallisation during at least 3 months.

GMO (Genetically Modified Organisms)
the honey we supply does not contain any GMOs nor derivatives.
Pesticides:
the honey is chromatographically tested for the presence of pesticides (internal or external tests) - standard < 10 - 100ppb
Clostridium botulinum:
the analysis takes place in an external lab:standard < 1/g
Antibiotics:
the honey is tested for streptomycin, sulphonamides, tetracyclines and chloramphenicol, nitrofurans and macrolides (internal and external analyses).
Standards:
streptomycin < 10 ppb
sulphonamides < 10 ppb
tetracyclines < 10 ppb
chloramphenicol < 0,1 ppb
nitrofurans < 1 ppb
macrolides (erythromycin, tylosin) < 10 ppb
Allergy and food intolerance (basis:ALBA list):
honey does not contain allergens
Sanitary guarantees:
all honey imported into the EU is tested for the presence of bee illnesses and is awarded a sanitary certificate.
Microbiological purity:
In theory there is little danger partially thanks to the high sugar concentration, the low aw value and the low acidity.However, it is important to act with care when using honey. Remains that are exposed to the air may absorb water (honey is hygroscopic), become filthy and start fermenting.
Total plate count: < 100,000 / g
Enterobacteriaceae: < 10/ g
Yeasts: < 500/ g
Fungi: < 500 / g
Salmonella: absent (/25g)
