Honeycakes

Hueromont Honey Cakes, produced from organic-grade honey sourced from mountainside apiaries far from the bustling Hueromont metropolis. Famed since ancient times for its long shelf life, Honey Cakes were able to be transported on the lengthy voyages at sea and eventually in the air from Hueromont to the continental states. They eventually became synonymous with the merchant class and nobility, often forming a key component in the tea parties within those social circles as a means of expressing wealth and sophistication due to the precarious nature of maritime voyages on Gallentia.

Due to concerns over the loss of prestige and the sullying of the reputation of the traditional Honey Cake by imitations using inferior quality products, a loosely-knit collective of apiary beekeepers and enthusiasts petitioned the Hueromont Congress for protected designation of origin for the Honey Cake. Congress, then concerned with maintaining the parity of Hueromont culturally as well as economically with the rest of the nation-states on Gallentia, readily agreed to this proposal. This protection for the Hueromont apiaries and beekeepers set the legal benchmark for protection of indigenous and culturally significant produce, a facet which has been continued into the present day by the Federated Union of Gallente Prime.
