Often considered a simple sweetener, honey can also be an exceptional product, linked to a unique terroir and ancestral know-how. Certain nectars from endemic flowers and artisanal methods tell a singular story. On this island with rich forests, Ilanga Nature works to uncover these natural treasures, the fruit of a subtle balance between preserved nature and local traditions.
Singular flowers to unforgettable flavors
The character of a honey depends first and foremost on the plants foraged. The Manuka honey in New Zealand is famous for its medicinal virtues. In Yemen, the jujube honey stands out for its warm notes and its rarity. More confidential, the Mokarana honey, harvested in the humid forests of the Indian Ocean, seduces with its unique floral profile. This last one is produced in respect of the environment, a commitment carried by Ilanga Nature.
Meticulous harvests in preserved environments
These rare honeys can only exist in perfect harmony with their environment. In Nepal, the red honey is harvested on vertiginous cliffs. In Amazonia and Ethiopia, wild beehives are exploited according to ancestral traditions. On this island region, beekeepers install their beehives in the heart of protected forests, respecting the natural cycles of the bees. It is this responsible model that Ilanga Nature supports, guaranteeing the authenticity and quality of the honey.
A fragile thread to preserve
The rarity of these honeys is also linked to their vulnerability to deforestation, standardisation and low valuation. Their survival depends on sustainable beekeeping, fair remuneration for producers and enlightened consumption. Ilanga Nature is committed to promoting raw, unheated honeys from transparent partnerships, making each pot an act of preservation.
