While the term "raw" has no statutory legal definition under UK honey regulations, our honey is unpasteurised and coarsely strained. We only gently warm our honey to natural hive temperatures (max 35°C) so it can flow through our equipment. It retains its natural pollens and unadulterated flavours exactly as the bees created them.

Crystallisation is a natural process for unpasteurised honey. Raw honey consists primarily of natural glucose and fructose sugars; honey with a higher glucose ratio naturally sets faster as the sugars crystallise. It maintains its smooth, spreadable texture and is completely safe to eat. If you prefer runny honey, gently warm the jar in a bowl of warm water.

Runny honey is pure honey in its liquid state, ideal for drizzling over porridge or yoghurt. Soft Set honey is pure honey that has been gently stirred during the natural crystallisation process using fine seed crystals, creating a velvety, buttery texture that spreads smoothly on toast without dripping.

Store your honey in a cool, dry place at stable room temperature with the lid tightly sealed. Avoid storing honey in the refrigerator, as cool temperatures will significantly speed up the natural crystallisation process.
