Let us review your analysis results

Send us your laboratory report and we will assess moisture, HMF, diastase and sugar values against EU and Codex limits, free of charge. We will tell you plainly which value would cause a problem on export and which sits close to the line.

Honey Trade buys pine honey. We are open to price discussions for lots with suitable values.

Free assessment. We do not collect samples or arrange shipping — you order the analysis directly from the laboratory.
