AB’s Honey for Drink Manufacturing
If you want quality alternative products to flavour your beverage and serve as a sweetener for drinks, honey is a great way to boost the quality of your product. Honey offers incredible nutritional value, which you can use to attract a loyal customer base, as it enhances the health characteristics of your product. Provided it is pure raw Australian honey like AB’s Honey.
Customers are more discerning than ever, and they often look for beverages with functional inclusions. Honey serves a clear purpose – it sweetens, enhances, and it has health benefits. Its inclusion in a beverage means that artificial ingredients are often not needed. Honey can also help mask any unpleasant flavours or imbalance.
The Right Honey Variety for Drinks Manufacturing
We offer a broad selection of honey variants, so you can always count on finding the flavour you need. We also provide expert advice to help you select the honey for your food product. We’ll help you identify the perfect honey solution!
Here are two examples of honey we supply that are perfect for sweetened drinks.
Rainforest Honey
Rainforest honey is one of the most popular options when it comes to manufacturing and commercial applications. It’s a special blend and it comes exclusively from eastern Australia’s forests. It is a well-balanced honey in terms of flavour and sweetness. It’s an all-rounder that is particularly popular with food and drink manufacturers.
Ironbark Honey
Ironbark honey is another popular honey variety that comes directly from eastern Australia’s forests. The difference between it and Rainforest honey is that Ironbark has a smooth, sweet, and mild taste. It is commonly used in the manufacture of drinks, food, and dairy products. It offers a delicate flavour that is perfect for sweetening because it doesn’t alter the flavour of the finished product.
If you’re concerned that honey could upset the flavour of your existing beverage, there is no need to worry. One of the reasons it is so popular and versatile in beverages is it blends seamlessly with most recipes. You can also use it as an emulsifier to make a product shelf stable. It’s an effective way to balance strong flavours without becoming a dominant flavour.
The Benefits of Choosing Honey
Long-term studies have found that aspartame and other artificial sweeteners may be dangerous. One study determined that consuming aspartame can lead to mental stress, depression, and mood disorders. Additionally, long-term use impacts the brain and may result in neurodegeneration. This can cause memory issues and impact learning. While further research is required to investigate the extent of these issues, if you’re looking for sugar replacements, your best bet is to swap honey for sugar rather than opt for an artificial sweetener. You can also extoll the health properties of your chosen honey, which adds another layer of marketing to your product.
Honey is natural, nutritious, and it’s delicious, which makes it a great choice for manufacturing products of all types, especially sweetened drinks. Whether you’re producing a craft soda, a range of smoothies or fruit juice, think honey.
Pleasant-tasting, honey also blends well to sweeten without overwhelming key ingredients. Consumers are doing more to monitor how much sugar and sweetener they consume, which is why many drink manufacturers are taking steps to minimise the presence of those ingredients. Using honey as a sweetening ingredient tells customers they have a healthier option available to them.
