If your order is a large tin or tub weighing over 1kg and arrives damaged:-
Unfortunately, we cannot accept returns on tins or tubs of over 1kg. If your tub or tin arrives slightly damaged and leaking, we are happy to give you a partial refund on the amount of honey you feel has been lost. Unfortunately, we cannot replace whole tins or tubs unless more than 50% of the honey has been lost. We would then request you send us pictures so that we can assess the damage and agree the replacement.

We hope that you will never be unhappy with any honey that you buy from us, but if on the rare occasion that this does happen, please do get in touch with us as soon as you can, and we will be happy to find a solution for you.
Our Returns Policy
If there is a problem with your honey - provided no seals have been broken and the product has not been opened (i.e.: it must be in 'new' condition) you can return your honey to us up to 35 days after you have made your order. Excluding sale items which are sold as per the description and cannot be returned.
We will process your refund within 14 days of having received the returned good(s) or proof of having returned the goods (for example, a proof of postage receipt from the post office), You will be refunded for the full cost of the product(s) as well as any original shipping fees paid.
If you are returning part of a larger order, you may only be refunded a portion of any shipping fees paid.
Please note we cannot issue refunds or replacements for honey because it has crystallised.
We indicate on the website the state of each honey - either runny or crystallised but this information is based on the best of our knowledge and the state can change quickly – particularly in the colder months of the year. The crystallisation process is completely natural (even processed honey will crystallise eventually). If we have indicated that the state is runny and it is crystallised when you receive it - this simply means that it has crystallised quicker than we expected, which can happen. It does not indicate that there is a problem with the honey and therefore is not covered by our returns policy.
Please note that refunds on items bought as gifts can only be issued to the original purchaser.
The Raw Honey Shop reserves the right to apply and interpret this extended returns policy as it decides is most appropriate.
Consumer Contracts Regulations
If you have purchased our products online or over the phone, you will be covered by the statutory Consumer Contracts Regulations.
Consumer Contracts Regulations do not apply to perishable items (eg: fresh royal jelly and fresh bee pollen) or goods with a seal for health protection and hygiene reasons that's been broken.
If the item(s) you receive is somehow faulty or otherwise not as described, your right to return your item(s) is covered under the Consumer Rights Act 2015.

Raw Organic Acacia Honey with Honeycomb Chunk – 500g Jar
This exquisite raw organic Acacia honey, harvested by certified organic beekeeper Antal, comes from the remote, pristine Acacia forests of Hungary. With more Acacia forests in Hungary than in the rest of Europe combined, this honey stays runny much longer and retains its clear, golden appearance. Antal carefully places his hives in two distinct regions: the Kiskunság National Park, located in Hungary’s Great Plain, and the untouched wilderness of the northern Carpathian region of Nógrád. Both areas are known for their lush forests, where bees thrive on the delicate Acacia blossoms, resulting in one of the purest honey varieties available.
Product Highlights
- Cold-pressed and coarsely filtered to preserve the beneficial natural enzymes and pollen.
- Sourced from the pristine Acacia forests of Hungary, which has more Acacia trees than the rest of Europe combined, ensuring purity and a longer runny state.
- Artisan-crafted by Antal, a certified organic beekeeper, using sustainable, organic methods.
- Contains a honeycomb chunk, adding texture and visual appeal to this already delightful honey.
- 100% raw and unheated, ensuring all natural enzymes are preserved.
- Low glycaemic index, making it suitable for those sensitive to sugar.
Flavour
Raw Organic Acacia honey has a mild, sweet flavour with delicate floral notes. Its mildness allows it to be versatile in cooking, baking, or simply enjoyed on its own. It is often preferred in drinks or recipes where stronger honey varieties might overpower the other flavours.
Colour
This honey is a light golden colour, reminiscent of liquid sunshine, with the honeycomb chunk adding visual depth and authenticity.
Where Does the Honey Come From?
Antal operates in two distinct zones: the early-blooming Acacia trees in Kiskunság National Park in the Great Plain of Hungary, and the later-blooming trees in the rugged wilderness of the northern Carpathian region of Nógrád, with its breathtaking valleys and towering peaks. The Carpathian Mountains provide a wilderness that is ideal for producing pure, organic honey, as there is little industrial influence.
Who Produces the Honey?
Antal is a certified organic beekeeper whose family has been in beekeeping for generations. His careful management of his hives, and attention to detail, results in a honey that is true to its natural state, unprocessed and full of flavour.
What About the Tree the Honey Comes From?
The Acacia tree, also known as the black locust tree, is actually a flowering shrub in the legume family. It is known for its beautiful, light-smelling nectar, which the bees adore. Acacia honey is a real Hungarian speciality due to the large number of Acacia forests in the region.
Common Uses
Acacia honey is particularly good for for herb teas and coffee because it doesn’t alter the flavour, and its mild taste makes it perfect for baking, salad dressings, and even glazes for meats.
Acacia Honey Facts
Acacia honey has a relatively low glycaemic index, meaning it is suitable for those sensitive to sugar. It also stays runny for much longer than most raw honey varieties, preserving its pristine, liquid gold appearance for months.
How Raw Honey is Different from Processed Honey
Raw honey is minimally processed, meaning it’s packed with natural enzymes, pollen, and nutrients that are often lost during processing. Most supermarket honeys are processed to create a uniform appearance, often being drained of pollen, heated, and blended. Raw honey changes in flavour, colour, and texture depending on the season and the flowers that bees feed on, making each batch unique.
Crystallisation in Raw Honey
Raw honey tends to crystallise over time due to its natural glucose content. This is a natural process and does not affect the quality of the honey. For more information on why honey crystallises, visit our blog or check Wikipedia for a more scientific explanation.
