Maison Louvila brings raw, single-origin wild-forest honey from the Kongo Central of the Democratic Republic of the Congo to the chef’s table. Founded from the wish of diaspora children to honor their parents’ land, the company releases minimally filtered honey in small, numbered lots, each traceable to a single forest lot. Its first release was screened by independent U.S. laboratories, with no pesticide residues detected.

Wee Bee HoneyWee Bee Honey is a family-owned apiary whose beekeeping story reaches back to 1892, when Noah DeMuth bought his first hives in Pembroke, New York. Now in its fifth generation, the family runs colonies between New York and Florida and is known for carefully handled raw honey that goes from its own hives to hand-packed jars. The operation avoids chemicals near its bees and supports bee research through a portion of its proceeds.COWLESVILLE, NY
