Scottish Bee Company launches new chocolate spread laced with Scottish Blossom honey

Scottish Bee Company launches new chocolate spread laced with Scottish Blossom honey

As spreads and jams face declining popularity in the UK, the Scottish Bee Company is shaking up the market with the launch of a luxurious new chocolate spread.

This innovative product combines Fairtrade chocolate, ethically sourced Scottish milk and butter, and a generous helping of the company's signature Scottish Blossom honey. The new spread aims to offer a healthier and more ethical alternative to many mass-market chocolate spreads, which are often packed with sugar and low-quality ingredients.


“Our business started as a knowing nod to playing our part in reversing bee’s declining numbers. We saw an opportunity to tap into Scotland’s striking countryside by working alongside other local beekeepers to showcase the compelling superiority of small batch, homegrown honey over hyped mass-market, conveyor belt honeys shipped over from China,” Suzie Millar, Scottish Bee Company founder, said.

“Our thoughtfully collected Scottish honey packs an honest nutritional punch (brimming with beneficial manganese, B2, B3, B5, B9 C, E & K), making it the perfect hero ingredient for a thoroughly decadent chocolate spread.”

With this new offering, the Scottish Bee Company hopes to tap into growing consumer demand for artisanal, sustainable products that deliver both on taste and ethical sourcing. The spread promises to stand out in a market where traditional jams and spreads are losing their appeal, particularly among consumers who are seeking healthier, more responsible choices.

RRP: £8 (190g)
