Raw Certified Organic Forest Honey
Raw, natural and one of the purest honeys because of the remote area it comes from. Antibacterial, coarse-filtered, unpasteurised, and enzyme-rich. This raw Forest honey comes from the mountains and forests in Asturias, a green and unspoilt area in the north of Spain. This is a very high quality Forest honey, that is very thick.
The set consists of a 960g jar of this beautiful honey, in a lovely jute bag with easy to carry handle, and a wooden honey dipper.

🧊 How to store your honey
Store in a cool, dark place to preserve enzymes and texture. Avoid heat and direct sunlight to maintain quality.
🍯 Why Raw Honey is Different from Processed Honey
Raw honey is unheated, unpasteurised, and minimally filtered—preserving pollen, enzymes, antioxidants, and unique flavour profiles reflecting its origin.
🌀 Crystallisation
Crystallisation is natural in raw honey and not a defect. Jars are labelled “runny” or “crystallised,” but this may change over time. For tips on decrystallising honey, see our Runny Honey Guide or FAQs.
