At Maison Evelyn, we love things organic and artisanal. Recently, we have added some new honeys (aka “liquid gold”) from Hédène, which are a perfect manifestation of what we represent. Before we start talking about them, if you ever wonder, the name of Hédène does imply implicitly what the French brand aims to achieve. When pronounced in French, the name Hédène is practically the same as Eden, the Garden in Genesis. The “H” is silenced in French, but it is added as a reference of hedonism. When we break the name down like this, it is actually pretty clear what they want - giving you something heavenly (and healthy of course) for your pleasure in life.
HONEYS 100% FRENCH IN ORIGIN
Coming from two beekeeping families, Cyril Marx and Alexis Ratouis, the two founders, have started their love adventure of bee honey ever since they were kids. The uniqueness of each type of honey (its palette of colours, flavours, and textures) is what fascinates them most. After graduating from an apiary school in Paris, they decided to create Hédène together, making honeys 100% French in origin with an accent on traceability.
A MANIFESTATION OF REFINEMENT
With their vast territories across different French regions, Hédène are able to offer a wide range of honeys through organic farming. From Tarn to Burgundy (passing through the Jura), their monofloral and polyfloral (wildflower) honeys represent the floral richness of France. To harvest this raw, natural organic food, the brand uses cold extraction and has its apiaries near the fields. They are confident enough in their traditional beekeeping know-how to have their honeys analysed and certified to guarantee authenticity and traceability.
That is how Hédène have become a symbol of French excellence. Whether in liquid, creamy, or crystalline form, their organic honeys have such aromatic uniqueness that has even seduced the starred chefs in France to sublimate their dishes using their honeys as an ingredient. When you taste a spoon of one of the honeys, you will certainly feel like a journey to their French territories. That’s how exceptional the quality is.
