Your Questions, Answered

Yes. Every jar we sell is raw and unpasteurised. Our honey is cold-extracted and never heated above hive temperature, which sits around 40°C. This preserves the natural enzymes, pollen, and antioxidants that make raw honey nutritionally distinct from the heated, ultra-filtered honey found on most supermarket shelves.

Both. Our Wildflower, Soft Set, and Heather honeys are British, sourced from our SALSA-certified British honey supplier. Our Acacia, Sunflower, and Linden honeys come from our family's apiaries in Transylvania, Romania, where the Nistor family has kept bees for six generations.

Every honey is single-origin and traceable to a specific named region. We never blend honeys from multiple countries, which is the standard practice for most large brands.

Yes. We work directly with ethical beekeepers across Britain and our family in Romania, support bee-friendly habitats, and use eco-conscious packaging. Our jars are recyclable glass and we are very close to fully plastic-free packaging.

Our British honey supplier holds SALSA Certification, a nationally recognised food safety standard overseen by the Institute of Food Science and Technology. This means every British jar meets rigorous safety and quality requirements that go beyond minimum regulatory standards.

Raw honey is mostly natural sugars, fructose and glucose, with smaller amounts of sucrose and maltose. Beyond the sugars, every jar contains trace minerals, vitamins, organic acids, antioxidant compounds, and crucially the enzymes the bees produce inside the hive.

It is the enzymes and antioxidants that make raw honey distinct. When honey is heated above 40°C, those enzymes are permanently destroyed. We never pasteurise.

No. We never add sugar, corn syrup, fructose syrup, or any other sweetener to our honey. All sweetness comes naturally from the nectar the bees collect.

This matters more than it sounds. In March 2023, the European Commission's Joint Research Centre tested 320 batches of honey arriving at EU borders and flagged 46 percent as suspected of being adulterated with sugar syrups. Our supply chain is short, traceable, and tested. There is no incentive and no opportunity for adulteration.

Our raw honeys typically contain between 15 and 19 percent moisture. This range is the sweet spot for honey: low enough to prevent fermentation, high enough to remain pourable and flavourful.

Many mass-produced honeys contain considerably more water, which is usually a sign that the honey has been over-diluted or harvested too early before the bees have finished evaporating the nectar properly.

Raw honey is safe for healthy older children and adults when consumed in moderation. Two important caveats apply.

First, raw honey should never be given to babies under 12 months because of the risk of infant botulism. This applies to all raw honey, not only ours.

Second, raw honey should not be heated above approximately 40°C if you want to preserve its natural enzymes and antioxidants. You can still cook with it, but consider that high heat changes the nutritional profile.

Every jar is packed in recyclable glass with eco-conscious cushioning materials inside a recyclable cardboard outer. We are very close to achieving fully plastic-free packaging.

Honey is heavy and glass is fragile. We pack defensively, which is why breakages in transit are rare. When they do happen, we replace the jar at no cost to you.

이메일 [email protected] within seven days of receiving the order and include:

• 주문 번호
• A brief description of the damage
• A photo of the damaged jar (this helps us with the courier claim)

We will replace the jar or issue a refund, whichever you prefer. You do not need to return the damaged jar; please dispose of it safely at home.

Honey is a perishable food product, so we cannot accept returns of opened jars under any circumstances. Unopened jars in their original condition may be returned within 30 days of receipt for a refund or replacement. Please contact us first before sending anything back.

If you received the wrong honey or the wrong quantity, email [email protected] within seven days of receiving the order. We will send the correct product immediately and arrange the return of the incorrect item at our cost.

Crystallisation is a natural process and a sign of authentic raw honey. As honey cools or sits, the glucose component naturally separates and forms small crystals. The honey is not spoiled and is perfectly safe to eat.

Different honeys crystallise at different rates. Sunflower and Soft Set honeys crystallise quickly. Acacia and Linden are naturally slow to crystallise. Heather behaves differently again: its distinctive gel-like set means it rarely forms the hard crystals you see in other varieties.

If supermarket honey never crystallises, it is usually because it has been ultra-filtered, pasteurised, or both. Treat permanent liquidity as a warning sign rather than a quality indicator.

Place the closed jar in a bowl of warm water (not boiling, which destroys the enzymes). Let it sit for 10 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally once the lid loosens. The crystals dissolve and the honey returns to a liquid state.

You can also leave the jar somewhere consistently warm, like on top of a radiator or in an airing cupboard, for a few hours. Avoid the microwave, which can heat unevenly and damage the enzymes that make raw honey worth buying.

Properly stored in a sealed jar at room temperature and away from direct sunlight, raw honey keeps very well. The high sugar content and low water activity make it inhospitable to bacteria.

That said, every jar carries a best-before date for legal reasons in the UK. The flavour is at its peak within 18 to 24 months of harvest. After that the honey may crystallise and the flavour may mellow, but it remains safe to eat far beyond the printed date.

No, never refrigerate honey. Cold temperatures accelerate crystallisation, making the honey thick and difficult to use. Honey is happiest at room temperature, somewhere between 18 and 22°C, in a cupboard away from direct sunlight. The jar lid kept tightly closed prevents moisture absorption.

Yes. Honey is wonderful in baking, marinades, dressings, and sauces. Worth knowing: heating raw honey above 40°C destroys the enzymes that make it nutritionally distinct. So while it tastes excellent in baked goods, the heated honey is no longer "raw" in the strictest sense.

For maximum flavour and nutritional benefit, drizzle raw honey over finished dishes after cooking, or stir into warm (not hot) drinks. Use a less expensive honey for baking and reserve your premium varieties for raw use.
