Abstract

The production of specialty and differentiated honeys has been gaining prominence in the global beekeeping sector, driven by the appreciation of products with unique botanical, geographical, and technological characteristics. These innovations include the development of monofloral honeys, certified organic honeys, honeys with Geographical Indication (GI), and enriched honeys obtained through technological processes that preserve or enhance their bioactive compounds. In addition, sustainable beekeeping practices and the use of digital traceability technologies have enabled greater reliability and added value to the final product. Sensory appreciation, combined with scientifically proven functional attributes, expands the consumer market both domestically and internationally. It is concluded that innovations in the production of specialty honeys represent a strategic alternative for beekeepers, promoting market differentiation, sustainability, and strengthening of the production chain.
