Introducing Chelidonis Family Olive Oil – High in Heart Beneficial Hydroxytyrosol, Bold Flavour (100ml Taster)
We’ve managed to bag another rather exceptional organic olive oil with a heart health giving hydroxytyrosol level of 8.4mg per 20g. This oil comes to you thanks to the diligent work of Asterios, our man on the ground in Greece. This impressive figure places it well above the EU's minimum threshold of 5mg per 20g for making a heart health claim under Regulation (EU) No 432/2012. Greek Imperator is a monovarietal Arbequina extra virgin olive oil, cold-extracted within hours of early harvest from the Chelidonis family's grove in Xanthi, Northern Greece. Grown at a place called “Eagle’s Hill,” it reflects the family’s dedication to biodiversity, sustainability, and traditional methods combined with the best modern techniques. This 100ml bottle offers the perfect way to try this exceptional oil before committing to a full-size bottle.

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.

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.

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.
