Necta Pure Natural Honey is cultivated by a group of farmers from the North rift parts of Baringo, Kerio and Kuria. The rich Natural habitat gives plenty of nectar from 100 types of trees best known for medicine.
There exists a well laid down HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points) plan, where the honey is harvested by using smoke stimuli, the supers transferred to extraction room, uncapping done with a sharp knife, the supers rotated at a minimum of 1000rpm centrifuge, then the supers returned to the hive. This practice ensures Environmental Protection
Our honey is purified by use of sedimentation technique, preserving the rich natural taste and aroma. Afterwards, samples are randomly collected and submitted to external Laboratories, (Quality Plus and KEBS food laboratories) after approval, honey is packed in food grade plastic jars, sealed and distributed to you.
