Our products have always been clean, now they look the part.

Our pursuit of purity and authenticity dates back to 1973 and the origin of Madhava, when we first started making honey. Enamored by the natural, no-nonsense process employed by hardworking bees, we sought to celebrate that process by bottling pure, unadulterated honey and letting its delicious quality speak for itself. Though we’ve expanded over the years to include agave, coconut sugar and olive oil in our family of products, we’ve never wavered from that initial commitment to sourcing the finest ingredients nature has to offer. We simply don’t believe in artificial ingredients or additives. Never have, and never will. 

“We were shocked that food companies tinker and toil with synthetic formulas, trying to re-create authentic flavors.” Read more.

We’re obsessive and we know it. Our partnership with the Clean Label Project (CLP) means that Madhava methods are double and triple checked to ensure that no environmental or industrial contaminants find their way into any of our products, preserving the taste and quality you expect. The Clean Label Project’s rigorous testing searches for hundreds of pollutants and toxins, from heavy metals to antibiotics to pesticides. They also regularly test hundreds of popular consumer brands to check for these toxic impurities and publish their results online.

While we were pleased that our products breezed through testing clean as a whistle, we can’t say we were overly surprised. Our dedication to the best quality, clean, organic ingredients has always been our guiding principle. But we have to say, it was still nice to win awards for Purity, Authenticity and Antioxidant Superiority, which back up our long-held philosophy.

“Bees can fly up to six miles in one day, making it difficult to keep organic honey free from pesticides. We source our Organic Honey from wildflower fields in Argentina, Brazil and Mexico, miles away from contaminant sources.

Our heart is on our sleeve. While we know how important our commitment to clean, pure ingredients is, we want to make sure you know. Our new labels and packaging will proudly bear these hard-earned seals of approval. We have always stood firmly behind the products we make, and striven to maintain transparency about our ingredients, sources and production methods. Now you can see that transparency every time you reach for a Madhava product.
