Honeys of the world (BfD Journal 87)

More than 200 superb quality honeys, dried fruits and oils from around the world were entered for the 2008 Agence pour la Valorisation des Produits Agricoles (AVPA) Contest. All the products were displayed at the Foods and Goods Show in Paris where the jury determined the winners. The jury panel were experienced honey judges and were charmed by the quality of each of the honeys.

African and Réunion Island honeys had great success. They really deserve to be better known by the general public. France Miel gathered a beautiful display of honeys from various French and Chilean provinces.
