What if we challenged ourselves to create a honey granola that actually tasted like honey?

Too often, products labeled ""honey granola"" rely on honey as a supporting sweetener, resulting in only a subtle honey note. We wanted to take a different approach.

Our team established three formulation goals:
🍯 Deliver authentic honey flavor, not just sweetness.
🥣 Create a crisp, satisfying texture.
🌾 Keep the ingredient statement clean and recognizable.

The solution? A Honey Granola with Honeycomb Crunch formulated with 18% honey as the only sweetener, allowing honey to contribute its signature floral aromatics, authentic flavor and enhanced browning during baking. Slivered almonds and pumpkin seeds provide lasting crunch, while honeycomb adds an unexpected layer of texture.

Innovation isn't always about inventing a new category. Sometimes it's about rethinking a familiar product to better showcase what an ingredient can truly do.

Message us today for the full formula.

Inside the hive, bees are caring for developing brood, regulating the hive's temperature, processing nectar into honey and preparing for another day of pollinating the crops that help feed the world.

On World Honey Bee Day, we're celebrating the tiny workforce behind one of nature's most remarkable ingredients. https://bit.ly/4gf0Dlz
