Our California Grown Shish*to Pepper Skillet is finished with a white balsamic and Button Sage honey reduction, and that honey is doing something special here.

Button Sage is one of our most sought after varietals. Light, floral, with a hint of pear. It turns a simple skillet into something you'll be thinking about on the drive home.

This is what happens when California grown ingredients meet varietal honey! 🍯

Most people picture beekeeping suits and hives.

And yes, that's part of it....

But working with honey also looks like explaining why our Meadowfoam tastes like marshmallows without a single additive. It's tasting varietals and deciding what honey works best in a recipe.

This is what we do every single day at The HIVE.

We source most of our ingredients from California farms, including basil olive oil, pressed right here in the valley.

This is what farm to fork looks like on a plate.

Have you tried our Fennel Burrata Caprese yet?

The truth about organic honey in the US is something most people have never heard, and once you know it, you'll never look at a label the same way.

In this reel, Amina breaks down why truly organic honey is nearly impossible to source in the United States, even when a jar carries a USDA organic label.
