Black Horse is one of the most searched-for names among honey sticks. Format, packaging, differences between the versions, buying securely: what you need to know before you order.
What is Black Horse?
Black Horse is a range of honeys packaged in individual 10 g sticks. The original version is recognizable by its black-and-gold stick. A version presented as “Extra” comes in a gold stick. On Miel Empire, they correspond to Black Horse Official and Black Horse VIP.
A practical format: the 10 g stick
Each stick is pre-portioned and sealed, and is eaten as is, with no spoon. It slips into a pocket or a bag. According to the Anses Ciqual table, 10 g of honey provides about 30 kcal. To learn all about what honey contains, read Why honey?
