Keith Seiz, ingredient marketing expert for Erie, Colo.-based National Honey Board, joins us for Episode 58 of the “Let’s Talk Dairy” podcast, where he discusses honey and its relationship to dairy products.

For the past 25 years, Seiz has been immersed in the food and beverage industries, first as a journalist covering commercial bakery trends and today as an ingredient marketing expert for the National Honey Board. In his current role, Seiz spends most of his year traveling the country talking to food manufacturers, distillers, brewers and bakers and about how to make better products with honey. It’s his passion, and one that has him working with companies ranging from craft distillers to global food brands. 

During this podcast, Seiz discusses the following:

• The unique process of how honey is made.
• The importance of using honey in dairy products, such as yogurt, ice cream and cottage cheese.
• How trends, including the current health and wellness trend, will affect how honey is used in dairy products both in 2026 and in the future.
