Honeylicious brings exclusive Canadian wild honey to Bahraini tables
A new venture, Honeylicious, is set to tantalise Bahraini tastebuds with the launch of a unique product: pure raw honey directly from the pristine mountains of British Columbia, Canada. The company claims this is the first time such an exclusive honey has been imported into the Kingdom. Honeylicious is the brainchild of Bahraini entrepreneur Ramzi Ebrahim Mohamed Rafeea and his Canadian partner, Mirza Imran Tassadaq, who boasts strong connections to British Columbia. Their collaboration aims to introduce a flavour profile currently available in the local market. 'We're absolutely chuffed to bring this truly special honey to Bahrain,' said Rafeea. 'It's a taste of the Canadian wilderness, bottled right here for our customers.' The honey is sourced from the untouched forests of British Columbia, where bees forage on wildflowers and plants, resulting in a rich, distinct flavour that captures the essence of nature at its purest. 'Our commitment is to quality, and this honey really delivers on that front,' added Tassadaq. 'We're excited for people to experience the difference. It's raw, natural, and free from any nasties.' While the honey originates from Canada, Honeylicious is dedicated to supporting local operations. All bottling and packaging are handled in Bahrain, ensuring the product is as fresh as possible when it reaches customers. The honey is available in various bottle sizes, catering to both individual and family needs. Beyond their signature British Columbia honey, Honeylicious also offers a carefully chosen selection of honey varieties from different regions worldwide, each picked for its unique flavour and high quality. Whether customers prefer the sweet, delicate notes of wildflower honey or the rich, deep flavours of forest honey, the collection aims to bring nature's best offerings to Bahraini tables. The raw honey is free from additives, preservatives, and artificial ingredients, making it an ideal choice for those seeking a wholesome, natural product. It's perfect for enhancing dishes, enjoying on its own, or using as a healthy sweetener in recipes.
