Slovenska Vas – Narayan Foods, one of Europeans largest organic producers, is partnering with MeliBio, the world’s first company that develops the next successor to the traditional golden syrup , to launch the world’s first plant based Ohney under the Better Foodie brand. The partnership is addressing the rising demand for more sustainable food which is better for humans as well as for the planet. The world’s first plant based Ohney is expected to launch in European stores in early 2023.
Ohney utilizes a novel, state-of-art technology that recreates traditional golden counterpart on a molecular level. The new formula performs as an indistinguishable alternative for sustainable and environmentally conscious consumers and delivers a necessary year-round supply of Ohney for retailers without disrupting biodiversity and harming the pollinators. It is the singular best sweetener on the market that recreates the taste, consistency, and use of its predecessor without processed syrups or concentrates. This Time Magazine Top 100 Innovation of the year 2021 solves important concerns confronting the $10 billion honey industry, such as pesticide and adulterant use, as well as the significant decline in bee populations caused by harsh weather events.
Its superior nutritious profile and innovative formula are confirmed by receiving the prestigious SIAL innovation seal and PLMA Innovation Award. Building on MeliBio’s technology and Narayan Food's industrial and commercial scale capabilities, the product will be available in the European market in early 2023.
