Processed honey is typically heat-treated, blended, and homogenised from many different sources to appear uniform. In contrast, raw honey is single-origin, coming straight from the hive with minimal handling. Its texture, taste, and colour vary with the season and the terroir—shaped by the local climate, soil, the temperament of the bees, the beekeeper’s care, and the trees or flowers the bees forage on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCrystallisation\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRaw honey crystallises naturally (so we cannot accept returns on crystallised honey).

Light and heat degrade the enzymes that contribute to antibacterial activity. Keeping it away from light and high temps helps maintain its flavour, texture, and active properties.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e🍯 Why Raw Honey is Different from Processed Honey\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRaw honey comes from the hive to the jar with minimal interference. Most supermarket honey is processed to look attractive—drained of pollen, heated, and blended. Raw honey varies from batch to batch because it’s not factory-processed or heated. It changes with season, climate, and bee forage. We update this fact sheet based on the current batch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e🌀 Crystallisation\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRaw honey crystallises naturally (so we cannot accept returns on crystallised honey). We indicate on the site whether the honey is runny or crystallised, but this may change. If you want runny honey and it has crystallised, it's easy to return it to runny.
