Honey jar artisan label

Artisan labels on honey jars emphasize origin and purity, supporting small producers and sustainable beekeeping practices.

About this subject

Honey is one of humanity's oldest foods, consumed for thousands of years for its energizing and medicinal properties. In Brazil, beekeeping has grown significantly, especially in the Northeast region, which accounts for about 40% of national production according to the Brazilian Confederation of Apiculture (CBA). Small producers increasingly use artisan labels to differentiate their products, providing details such as predominant floral source (orange blossom, eucalyptus, wildflower), batch number, harvest date, and the apiary's name. This trend reflects a demand for transparency and traceability, while also strengthening local economies.
