The spreads and jams category, once a staple in many households, has been experiencing a decline in recent years.
Traditional favourites like lemon curd and marmalade have fallen out of favour, while jam sales have been struggling.
This downturn is further exacerbated by the decreasing popularity of bread consumption.
However, the category is reviving by introducing innovative products inspired by global culinary trends.
Artisanal peanut butters, drawing inspiration from American cuisine, and indulgent chocolate and nut spreads with a European flair are gaining traction in the market.
While many popular chocolate spreads often compromise on quality ingredients, the Scottish Bee Company has introduced a premium alternative that stands out in the market.
Their new chocolate spread offers a delightful combination of high-quality ingredients:
- Fairtrade chocolate: Ensuring ethical sourcing and production
- Scottish milk and butter: Locally sourced and ethically produced
- Scottish Blossom honey: A generous addition of their signature honey
This unique blend creates a luxurious spread that caters to consumers seeking both indulgence and ethical consumption.
By highlighting its commitment to Fairtrade chocolate, locally sourced milk and butter, and the distinctive Scottish Blossom honey, the company appeals to those who prioritise quality, ethical sourcing, and the support of local businesses.
While the chocolate spread is a new addition, it complements the Scottish Bee Company’s existing product line. Their range includes pure Scottish honeys, candles, shrubs, vinegars, and dressings.
According to Scottish Bee Company founder, Suzie Millar: “Our business started as a knowing nod to
playing our part in reversing bee’s declining numbers.
“We saw an opportunity to tap into Scotland’s striking countryside by working alongside other local beekeepers to showcase the compelling superiority of small batch, homegrown honey over hyped mass-market, conveyor belt honeys shipped over from China.
“Our thoughtfully collected Scottish honey packs an honest nutritional punch (brimming with beneficial manganese, B2,B3, B5, B9 C, E & K), making it the perfect hero ingredient for a thoroughly decadent chocolate spread.”
