Island Abbey Foods Ltd. president John Rowe is thrilled with the recent announcement of international awards for his company's Honey Drop, the world's first 100 per cent pure dried honey cube.
Honibe won two SIAL d'Or Awards 2010 from the world's largest food trade show in Paris and was one of nine finalists vying for overall winner as best new food product for 2010.
The Honibe Honey Drop has been named as world's best new product 2010 in the "Grocery - Sweet" category at the SIAL d'or Awards in Paris. The Honey Drop also won the "Country Award - Canada" as the highest scoring Canadian product for 2010. The Honey Drop is the world's first 100% pure dried honey cube for sweetening tea and coffee.
The SIAL d'Or Awards recognizes nine of the world's most innovative and successful new-product launches that came to market after November of 2008. The SIAL d'Or Awards are judged by a panel that is comprised of 30 judges from 30 different countries. The nine finalists were chosen from a product field of over 250 of the world's best new products.
The Honey Drop solves a common problem that liquid honey can be messy. It is ideal for sweetening tea or coffee. Simply drop into a hot beverage and stir. You have all of the natural honey flavour without the usual honey mess.
"To win the SIAL d'Or 'Country Award' for Canada was beyond our expectations," said Rowe. "To then be named best product in the 'Grocery - Sweet' category is a phenomenal accomplishment. We are ecstatic to be representing Canada at SIAL 2010 this fall as one of only nine finalists competing for the title of best new food product in the world."
The Honey Drop comes in two flavours: pure honey and pure honey with lemon. The Honey Drop comes in boxes of 20 pieces. The Honey Drop is only 20 calories, has a shelf life of three years, and does not contain any artificial colouring, flavouring, or preservatives.
P.E.I. firm double-award winner at world's largest food trade show

Hey natural chef
The answer to your question is yes, it is dried without removing the natural goodness.
And Frank if you check out their website they should have locations in Ont. if not contact them by e-mail or on facebook. -

Wasn't Canadian Bernard Shakey using honey slides in 1974? Funny how everything old is new again. Good stuff. Congrats
