Baba’s No. 1 – The Taste of Bulgarian Home Cooking
Warm, comforting, and unmistakably Bulgarian. Baba’s No. 1 (which means Grandmother) is our signature spice blend. A family recipe passed down through generations. It’s the kind of seasoning that instantly brings back the aroma of a traditional Bulgarian kitchen — simple, honest, and full of flavour.
Crafted in Bulgaria
This is our secret mix, created to capture the essence of home-cooked meals and Balkan hospitality. When you open the tin and take the first breath, you’ll picture a plate of freshly made kufteta. These beloved homemade meat patties sizzle in the pan and fill the air with a nostalgic, mouth-watering scent.
Each small batch is hand-mixed from sea salt, paprika, cumin, black pepper, garlic, onion, and a hint of herbs, creating a beautifully balanced seasoning that’s both savoury and aromatic. Additionally, the blend enhances the natural taste of your ingredients instead of overpowering them — a true reflection of traditional Bulgarian cooking.
In addition, Baba’s No. 1 isn’t just for kufteta. Use it to season grilled meats, stews, roasted vegetables, or lentil dishes, or sprinkle it into soups, marinades, or scrambled eggs for a burst of authentic Balkan flavour. As a result, you get that comforting homemade taste — no matter where you are.
Made in small batches from 100% natural ingredients, free from preservatives or artificial flavourings, this blend embodies the same care and simplicity that every Bulgarian grandmother (or Baba) would insist on.

Our Passion for Bees and Honey
Bees - The Heart of Our Work
At the heart of everything we do are the bees. These tireless pollinators are the guardians of biodiversity and the soul of our beekeeping journey. We nurture our colonies with the utmost care, far from pesticides and pollution, allowing them to thrive naturally and do what they do best – pure, natural honey. Without them, there is no honey, no flowers, no future.
Honey – Nature’s Sweetest Gift
Our honey is raw, unfiltered, and packed with life. Harvested in small batches from remote countryside regions in Bulgaria, each jar captures the purity of the land and the wildflowers our bees forage on. We never blend, heat, or rush the process. Just pure, single-origin honey—exactly as the bees made it.
SUSTAINABLY SOURCED FROM THE PRINCESS BEE apiary IN BULGARIA
Beyond honey, the hive offers a treasure trove of goodness. From nutrient-rich bee pollen and propolis to nourishing balms, beeswax candles, and handmade soaps, we craft each product with care, using only natural ingredients and traditional methods. Thoughtful, sustainable, and full of benefits, these bee creations bring nature’s healing power straight to your home.
