The region

La Côte, between the lake and La Dôle

Hives and capped honeycomb

La Côte is the strip of land that runs from the Jura down to Lake Geneva, between Nyon and Morges. Below, the vines and the lake; above, the pastures and forests, crowned by La Dôle, known from the whole shore by its white dome. In between, meadows, hedgerows, lime trees and chestnuts: this is where the bees forage.

Our hives are on the Morges side, at the eastern end of La Côte. The name we put on the jar is the name of this country: La Côte, canton of Vaud. The exact village is the beekeeper's, printed on every label.

03

Work. Explore. Evolve.

Born of effort, of work, and of one single standard: excellence. To share, with respect and admiration, what nature does best.

We do not believe in talent alone. We believe in what you do in the morning when no one is watching, in repetition, in the patience to start again. A hive works that way. So do we.

We believe you move forward by staying open: to what you do not know yet, to those who do things differently, to what arrives unannounced. This jar was born from one of those surprises. We chose to make something true of it.

04

What we hold to

There is a letter between our two names.
It is not there to keep them apart.

Work & pleasure
We do not know one without the other. What is done without joy shows; what is done without effort does not last.
Progress & values
Move forward, yes. But on your own feet. What we are not ready to defend, we do not do faster.
Loyalty & rebellion
Faithful to what matters, unbowed by what does not. We respect the rules enough to know which ones deserve breaking.
Patience & momentum
A hive does not hurry; a start does not wait. We live between the two.
Silence & signature
We promise nothing. We put our names.
Evolution
This word has no partner. It is what remains when everything else has been kept.

One spoon a day

What it gives you

Nothing we cannot measure. Every line opposite appears in the batch analysis.

And every morning, the same question: where does what I eat come from? Here, the answer fits on the label.

Not suitable for children under one year

The flower's sugars, fructose and glucose, as the bee transformed them

Diastase and invertase, alive: heat destroys them, we never heat

The pollen of La Côte, intact, because we do not fine-filter
Polyphenols
Those of a single hive and a single season, with their aromas

The honey

apisuisse Gold Label

The Gold Label (Label d'Or) is the quality seal of apisuisse, the federation of Swiss beekeepers, audited in French-speaking Switzerland by the Société Romande d'Apiculture. Its requirements go beyond Swiss federal food law.

On every jar, a gold seal closes the lid. It breaks on opening.

Origin
La Côte, canton of Vaud, Switzerland. 100% of the harvest.
Extraction
Cold. Never heated above 40 °C, never artificially dried.
Filtering
Coarse. The pollen stays in the honey.
Water

HMF
< 10 mg/kg (Gold Label: 15; legal limit: 40).
Treatments
No antibiotics. Only products recommended by Agroscope.

Noah & Jon

Two people life put on the same path, without warning.

Nothing was planned. We recognised in each other the same way of getting up early, of not cheating, of preferring to do rather than to say. That is enough to start something.

This jar is what two people get when they decide to hold the same standard, without asking who leads. Here, nobody leads. We hold.
