Spreads and jams are yet another stagnating staple food category being reshaped by wider world cuisine aspirations.
The Scottish Bee Company’s new chocolate spread (£8/190g) offers a blend of Fairtrade chocolate, ethically sourced Scottish milk and butter and a generous ladle of sublime, Scottish Blossom honey.
According to Scottish Bee Company founder, Suzie Millar, ‘Our business started as a knowing nod to playing our part in reversing bee’s declining numbers. We saw an opportunity to tap into Scotland’s striking countryside by working alongside other local beekeepers to showcase the compelling superiority of small batch, homegrown honey over hyped mass-market, conveyor belt honeys shipped over from China. Our thoughtfully collected Scottish honey packs an honest nutritional punch (brimming with beneficial manganese, B2,B3, B5, B9 C, E & K), making it the perfect hero ingredient for a thoroughly decadent chocolate spread.’
