Aroma
Warm and inviting with herbal, woody undertones and a whisper of mountain wildflowers, evoking the fresh air and ancient landscape of Mount Olympus.
Flavour
Smooth and bold with deep caramel sweetness, hints of vanilla, and a grounding herbal note. This Sidr honey offers a complex, lingering flavour, enhanced by the purity of its high-altitude origin.
Colour
A rich amber tone with reddish-gold hues, reflecting its floral source and natural enzymes. May appear slightly opaque due to its raw, unfiltered state. Crystallisation may occur, altering the texture and lightening the colour without affecting quality.
Origin
This Sidr honey is produced on the lower slopes of Mount Olympus, where the Greek Sidr (Paliurus spina-christi) trees thrive in the warm, sunlit Mediterranean microclimate. Here, the bees forage on Sidr blossom along with native herbs and wildflowers, benefiting from the mountain’s clean air, natural springs, and protected landscape. The unique geography of the area — with its rich biodiversity and minimal human interference — gives this honey an exceptional purity, strength, and sense of place.
Common Uses
- Soothe sore throats by stirring into warm tea
- Take daily by the spoonful to support immunity
- Drizzle over Greek yogurt, porridge, or fresh fruit
- Pair with strong cheeses like feta or blue cheese
- Use in vinaigrettes and salad dressings
- Add to marinades or glazes for meats
- Swirl into smoothies or wellness tonics
Producer Story

With a focus on sustainability and bee health, Dimitris practices traditional methods, cold-pressing his honey and avoiding all artificial inputs. His commitment to purity and ecological balance ensures every jar reflects the untouched mountain environment.
What does "Active" mean?
We send some honeys to a lab for a "Total Activity test". This test measures a honey's antimicrobial activity using a solution on a lab plate against Staph Aureus bacteria. The honey is graded between 10 and 25+. This test is similar to that used for Manuka Honey. The main activity comes from a bee enzyme that produces hydrogen peroxide. Note that the Activity Level is highest at testing and decreases over time—faster with light and heat. Store in a dark, cool place to slow this.
How to store your honey
To 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 temps helps maintain its flavour, texture, and active properties.
Why Raw Honey is Different from Processed Honey
Raw 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.
Crystallisation
Raw 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. Check our Runny Honey Guide or read more on crystallisation.
About Us
At The Raw Honey Shop, we believe honey should be RAW, unpasteurised, and 100% natural. Since 2008, we've introduced customers to pure, all-natural honey. Our catalogue includes over 30 raw and organic varieties. Thank you for visiting. We look forward to sharing a world of raw, pure, and truly wonderful honey—the way the bees intended it!

This policy applies to our retail orders only. If you are a trade customer, please contact us directly.
HOW DO I MAKE A RETURN?
If your order arrives and there is a problem then please email us at info@therawhoneyshop.com or call us on 01273 682109. Include your order number if possible and details of the problem. If it is necessary to return the order, the product must be returned to us unopened and in the same condition as when it arrived. So please re-pack it with care using the original packaging or a suitable alternative and we can supply you with a freepost label. If we need to issue a refund, once we have the package back with us, we will issue you a full refund or replacement.
IMPORTANT: If your order has arrived damaged, then please dispose of any broken jars and glass safely and quickly. Please do not attempt to wash or clean the jars as there may be small chips that can cause cuts.
Contact us at info@therawhoneyshop.com and let us know the details, including your order number and if possible, attach pictures. These are helpful for us in terms of improving our processes and for any claims we may make against the carrier.
We will resolve this issue by either sending you a new product straight away or refunding your order in full.
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.
Sale items are sold as per the description and we cannot accept any returns.
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.
