🧊 How to store your honey
To preserve its natural potency, store in a cool, dark place—away from light and heat, which can degrade beneficial enzymes and affect flavour, texture and active qualities.
🍯 Why Raw Honey is Different from Processed Honey
Raw honey comes straight from hive to jar with minimal interference—no heating, no blending, and no over-filtering. Each batch is unique, reflecting seasonal and environmental variations. Unlike processed supermarket honey, raw honey retains pollen, enzymes and its natural depth.
🌀 Crystallisation
Raw honey naturally crystallises (we cannot accept returns for this). We label each jar as “runny” or “crystallised,” but states may shift. For tips on returning crystallised honey to runny, check our Runny Honey Guide or see more on crystallisation.
