The flowers produce plentiful nectar, which the bees collect alongside small amounts of apple blossom from the orchards surrounding the apiaries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAsturias is one of Spain’s wettest regions, creating ideal conditions for its tall eucalyptus groves. The hives are raised above the ground to protect them from excess moisture, while the surrounding apple trees contribute a delicate additional note to the finished honey.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery stage of production, from extraction and coarse filtering to jarring and labelling, takes place at the family’s premises in Felechosa. There are no middlemen or outsourced stages, allowing Luisa and her family to oversee the honey from hive to jar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eProducer Story\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn Asturias, northern Spain, Luisa and her family run their raw honey business.

Honey is extracted from the frames and coarse-filtered to remove hive debris while retaining naturally occurring pollen and other hive particles before being jarred and labelled by hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLuisa’s mother, Jacoba, remains closely involved in the business, carefully labelling jars at the age of 88. Their work reflects three generations, one close-knit family and a shared respect for Asturias and its natural environment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCommon Uses\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDrizzle over natural yoghurt, porridge or granola\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePair with mature, smoked or blue cheeses\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStir into black, green or herbal tea\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpread over warm toast, crumpets or sourdough\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUse in marinades for chicken, pork or roasted vegetables\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdd to cakes, flapjacks and rustic breads\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhisk into vinaigrettes with olive oil and cider vinegar\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePair with apples, pears, walnuts or toasted almonds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUse in savoury sauces where its herbal character can add depth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to store your honey\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo preserve its natural potency, store the honey in a cool, dark place. Light and heat degrade the enzymes that contribute to antibacterial activity. Keeping it away from light and high temperatures helps maintain its flavour, texture and active properties.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy Raw Honey is Different from Processed Honey\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRaw honey is different from processed honey because it’s never pasteurised, finely filtered or blended—so it retains the natural pollen, enzymes and full spectrum of flavour that processed honey loses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProcessed 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIts 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 flowers the bees forage on.

We indicate on the site whether the honey is runny or crystallised, but this may change.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEucalyptus honey tends to crystallise relatively quickly. This batch is currently gently runny but may develop a more compact texture with fine to medium crystals over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you prefer runny honey and it has crystallised, it is easy to return it to a runnier consistency by standing the closed jar in gently warm water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCheck our \u003ca rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=ahoju59qfpY\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eRunny Honey Guide\u003c\/a\u003e or \u003ca rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Honey#Phase_transitions\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eread more about crystallisation\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout Us\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt The Raw Honey Shop, we believe honey should be RAW, unpasteurised and 100% natural.
