What is the Honey Madness Cup?

The Honey Madness Cup is a honey competition. In the first year, it is addressed exclusively to beekeepers and apiary owners who produce honey themselves. Cooperatives, corporations and other entities purchasing honey are excluded from participation.

The similarity of the names Honey Madness Cup and Mead Madness Cup (Europe’s largest mead competition) is no coincidence. The organizers of MMC, in cooperation with the bee honey sommelier Olga Gavrylik, decided to naturally expand the framework of the competition to include honey. While the name is similar, the formula of the competition itself is quite different from the well-known MMC formula. Honeys during the Honey Madness Cup will be judged on organoleptic qualities and will not compete with other honeys. HMC judges are honey sommeliers affiliated with the Italian organization Alba del Miel.
