Raw Eastern European honey for trade buyers across the UK and Ireland, with laboratory analysis for the batch you buy.
AOS Wholesale represents an established Eastern European honey producer and exporter in the UK and Ireland. Our producer partner has been in the honey trade for more than 25 years and handles more than 450 tonnes a year, with the capacity to supply more.
We handle the whole supply for you, from the beekeeper to your door. Once payment terms are agreed and payment is received, we take care of everything else: export and import documents, the health certificate, customs clearance and transport. You receive the honey at your premises in the UK, cleared and ready to use, with the laboratory report for its batch. You deal with one named person throughout, and you are quoted in sterling.
The honey we supply is bought, processed and packed by our producer partner in Eastern Europe, whose founders and team have worked in beekeeping and honey for more than 25 years. Here is what happens to it before it reaches you.
We buy only from selected beekeepers. Each delivery is tested in our own laboratory before it is accepted into stock.
The processing station, completed in 2016, homogenises honey in batches of 21 tonnes and more, sized to your order. A full load leaves as one uniform lot, with one laboratory analysis that holds from the first drum to the last.
First-stage analysis in our own laboratory. Official analysis certificates from the national veterinary diagnostic laboratory in the country of origin. Further analysis in specialised laboratories in Romania, Italy and Germany. Every batch is verified three times before it ships. That is how we guarantee the quality of our honey and deliver the same high standard with every single order.
Honey is packed only in new food-grade drums made by Greif, the international industrial packaging manufacturer. Drums are never reused.
The processing station is certified to ISO 22000 for food safety management and ISO 9001 for quality management, so every stage follows audited food-safety and quality procedures.
We prepare the export and import documents, including the health certificate, clear customs and deliver the drums to your premises in the UK, with the laboratory report for your batch.
We work with an established network of producers to source honey by variety, specification, quantity and commercial application. Availability varies by season and harvest.
Light, delicate, premium
One of the most sought-after European honey varieties. Acacia is recognised for its exceptionally pale colour, delicate floral character and naturally slow crystallisation. Its mild flavour and premium appearance make it particularly attractive for retail, hospitality and premium private-label products.
Entry-level price. Bold flavour.
Wildflower is the entry point to our range on price and one of the strongest on flavour. Gathered across many flowering plants, it is rich, full-bodied and suited to a broad range of commercial applications. Also supplied as polyfloral.
Aromatic, floral, distinctive
Linden is one of the characteristic honey varieties of Eastern Europe. It carries a distinctive floral aroma and an expressive flavour profile, which makes it particularly attractive for premium and speciality honey ranges.
Dark, rich, powerful
Buckwheat honey is immediately recognisable by its darker colour and distinctive, full-bodied flavour. It provides a strong contrast to delicate varieties such as Acacia and suits buyers looking for a more intense, characterful honey.
The character of spring
May honey is produced during the spring flowering period and can include nectar gathered from fruit blossom, rapeseed, acacia and other spring flora. It is typically lighter in colour with a delicate, pleasant aroma. Its exact composition reflects the spring harvest.
Golden, characteristic, versatile
Sunflower honey is a golden honey with a pleasant flavour and relatively subtle aroma. It crystallises more rapidly than varieties such as Acacia, creating a distinctive texture and appearance. An excellent option for commercial buyers requiring naturally sourced European honey at volume.
Alongside our core range, we can also supply selected speciality honeys subject to harvest, specification and commercial volume.
Dark. Robust. Distinctive.
A deeper, more characterful honey influenced by woodland flora. Forest honey offers a rich colour and pronounced flavour profile suited to buyers looking for a distinctive addition to premium, speciality or private-label ranges.
Pale. Smooth. Naturally Fast-Setting.
Rapeseed honey is known for its light colour, mild flavour and naturally rapid crystallisation. Its smooth set texture makes it particularly suitable for creamed honey, packing and selected food-manufacturing applications.
