Mellody Honey
Darko Mandich and Dr. Aaron Schaller founded Mellody Honey with a simple yet profound mission: to create a sustainable, plant-based honey that doesn’t rely on bees. With their expertise in food science and a passion for sustainability, they’ve developed a honey that’s not only kinder to the planet but also offers a unique flavor profile—ranging from rich, classic clover honey notes to the bold kick of their spicy habanero honey.
Our Partnership
We’re proud to be Mellody’s extended sales team, working closely with Darko and Aaron to secure placements in top food service and retail locations nationwide. From vegan omakase restaurants to high-end cafes, Mellody Honey is making its mark. Our focus is on expanding their reach, helping this innovative product become a staple in kitchens and menus across the country.
Mellody Honey represents a new chapter in the story of honey—one where innovation and sustainability go hand in hand. By choosing plant-based ingredients over traditional beekeeping methods, Mellody is paving the way for a more sustainable future in food. We’re honored to be part of their journey, bringing this groundbreaking product to more tables nationwide.
