Somerset-based British honey brand, Black Bee Honey, will supply its pure, British Autumn honey to The Ivy Collection restaurants in a new deal.
The B Corp British beekeeping collective’s Autumn honey will be a key ingredient in a Black Bee Honey and White Chocolate Cheesecake that will feature on the menu in all The Ivy Collection restaurants across the UK, from March until May. Beautifully bold and aromatic with a unique thick texture, the honey is sourced from apiaries in North Yorkshire and Scotland, where bees are taken onto the moors in August when the Ling Heather is in full bloom.
Black Bee Honey co-founder Chris Barnes said, “As we continue to grow our trade partnerships, we’re delighted and very proud to be supplying all The Ivy Collection restaurants with our 100% British Autumn honey. Its exceptional flavour really shines through in The Ivy Collection’s new delicious cheesecake.”
Mark Askew, Group Executive Chef from The Ivy Collection commented, “When creating our menus, we endeavour to source exceptional British ingredients for our dishes that deliver both quality and depth of flavour, and the Autumn honey from Black Bee Honey is truly outstanding. Its rich, aromatic character brings a wonderful balance to our Black Bee Honey and White Chocolate Cheesecake, adding warmth and complexity without overpowering the dish. We’re proud to be showcasing such a thoughtfully produced British product across our restaurants nationwide.”
Black Bee Honey is a B Corp certified British beekeeper collective founded by beekeepers Paul Webb and Chris Barnes who met in an office 20 years ago but left their design jobs for the rooftops and gardens of London where they cared for over a million bees and went on to establish Black Bee Honey. Their range of award-winning ‘hive to jar’ 100% British honey is produced throughout the year.
