This Canadian innovation will have your sweet tooth aching for sure!

Breaking a jar of liquid honey in his backpack while hiking in the 1990s got John Rowe thinking that honey should really be available in solid form. Since no one had ever invented such a product, he spent the next decade researching and developing the planet's first cube of solid honey that not only was 100% natural, but also retained the look and taste of the raw source used to sweeten tea. Canada's National Research Council (NRC) was instrumental in the development of a commercially viable product.

Today, as CEO of Prince Edward Island (PEI)-based Island Abbey Foods, Rowe has taken his innovation worldwide. Under his leadership, the global corporation manufactures hundreds of natural honey products, many of them solids, and ships them to more than 20 countries around the world.
