Honeymoon specializes in bean to bar craft chocolate sweetened solely with raw honey. Their first and foremost reason for creating chocolate they look to address the decline of honeybees and the decreasing supply of cacao nationwide.
Furthermore, decline in Cacao production due to oil palm profiteering and increased slave labor are further drivers for us to support sustainable farmers in Peru, Haiti, Colombia, and Ghana.
They only source direct and transparent trade cacao. Secondary to us (but just as important is to allow their consumers to remove refined sugar from their favorite foods.
Customers in need of alternative sugars include those with diabetes or chronic inflammation.) A few positives in using honey compared to traditional cane sugar include a roughly 1.5 -2 time multiple in sweetness (which decrease overall caloric content by 30 calories depending on the 2.5 oz. variety), a lower glycemic index of 55 compared to 68 (which is beneficial to diabetics), and trace amounts of beneficial enzymes, amino acids, antioxidants, B vitamins, and minerals such as calcium, magnesium and potassium.
Not only do we give a portion of our proceeds to support honeybee research, they also purchase directly from beekeepers which allows them to support apiarists.
