PEI Honey Product Wins Prestigious Prize

Central Beekeepers Alliance sends its hearty congratulations to Island Abbey Foods Ltd. of Prince Edward Island. The company just won the Global SIAL d'Or, one of the world's top food prizes, for its innovative Honibe Honey Drop, a dried honey product in the form of a lozenge, used to sweeten a hot beverage with honey just as easily as you’d drop a sugar cube in your afternoon tea:

Have you ever held honey in your hand? Well now you can: introducing the Honey Drop™. The Honey Drop™ solves a common problem: liquid honey can be messy. The Honey Drop™ is an individual serving (one teaspoon / 5 g.) of 100% pure dried honey without any additives or binding agents. All of the natural honey flavor without any of the mess.

The Global Food Marketplace convention, SIAL D'Or – an event for all those involved in the food industry: retail, trade, manufacturing, catering and food services – was held in Paris, France, from Sunday, October 17 through Thursday, October 21, 2010. Island Abbey Foods won among 1,500 competitors from 30 countries.

"We are incredibly honored to win the Global SIAL d'Or," said John Rowe, President and CEO of Island Abbey Foods Ltd. "They gave out the country awards first where we received the 'Best in Canada Award,' then the category awards were presented and we received our 'Best Grocery Sweet' award, and after much suspense they announced Honibe as the Grand Prize winner."
