This is natural raw honey, which will naturally crystallise from a semi-runny state to a more solid form. If it doesn't crystallise, it may be fake or heat-processed, losing its natural properties.
Raw honey's taste, texture, and color vary significantly due to regional, floral, geographical, and climatic factors. Please respect this natural gift and its properties. If you have any issues, contact us for a solution.
Additional Information
Please note: Due to low stock, the prices of buckwheat honey have increased. We expect fresh 2024 buckwheat honey to be available from late August to mid-September.
Crystallisation: Raw honey naturally undergoes crystallisation, gradually thickening and developing a grainy texture. The process varies among different honey types, showcasing unique crystalline patterns. Colour and structure changes signify the raw, unpasteurized, and unprocessed nature of the honey.
Frosting: Another characteristic of raw and unprocessed honey is frosting, appearing as small white streaks or crescents spreading on the jar's shoulder. These white areas result from tiny air bubbles trapped between the honey and the jar's side. Both frosting and crystallisation are intrinsic features that do not compromise the taste or quality of the honey.
Colour Variations: Raw honey may exhibit differences in colour and taste from one batch to another. Honey adapts to seasonal and climatic conditions, reflecting the diverse diets of the bees.
Benefits: Honey contains antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, enzymes, and amino acids, which contribute to its beneficial properties. The recommended hydrogen peroxide, acidic pH, and low moisture level of honey provide antibacterial and antiseptic qualities. Natural compounds derived from the diverse array of flowers in its composition contribute to its mild antispasmodic effects, potentially calming the body and alleviating stress and tension.
Respiratory Relief: Honey is a natural solution for soothing coughs and sore throats. Its thick consistency aids in easing throat discomfort, reducing irritation, and supporting the healing of the throat lining.
Storage: Ensure honey is stored in a dry place at or below room temperature, away from direct sunlight, and always secure the lid tightly.
