Flavour
Our Buckwheat Honey delivers a bold and earthy flavour profile, offering a robust mix of malty sweetness and molasses-like undertones. Hints of coffee, cocoa, and sour cherries add layers of complexity. Its pungent aroma, reminiscent of leather, malt, and aged cheeses, enhances its character, making it an acquired but rewarding taste for honey enthusiasts. Less sweet than lighter honeys, this variety offers a rich, slightly bitter finish with a long persistence on the palate.
Colour
This honey features a deep, dark amber colour, often appearing nearly black. Its striking hue reflects its richness in antioxidants and nutrients. As a creamed honey, it maintains a smooth texture, ensuring easy spreading and versatility in use.
Origin
Harvested from the wildflower meadows of Lithuania, this honey benefits from an unspoiled environment, free from industrial farming. The meadows, rich in buckwheat blooms, provide an ideal habitat for the bees to create this uniquely flavoured honey, free from pesticides and other chemicals.
Producer Story
Beekeeper Laimonas is a certified organic practitioner, preserving centuries-old traditions passed down through generations. His dedication to sustainable and ethical beekeeping ensures the honey remains pure, natural, and of exceptional quality. Laimonas’s deep connection with his bees and environment results in honey that is truly one of a kind.
Common Uses
This honey’s bold flavour and thick, creamy consistency make it highly versatile in the kitchen. Drizzle it over sharp cheeses like Stilton or Gouda for a sweet and savoury contrast. Use it in marinades for pork, lamb, or game meats, or spread it on hearty, wholegrain breads for a robust breakfast option. It also pairs beautifully with Greek yogurt, smoothies, or as a topping for vanilla ice cream to create an indulgent dessert experience.
How to Store Your Honey
To maintain the natural potency and unique qualities of this honey, store it in a cool, dark place. Avoid exposure to light and heat to preserve its beneficial enzymes, flavour, and texture.
Why Raw Honey is Different from Processed Honey
Raw honey means minimal processing—straight from the hive to the jar. Unlike supermarket honey, which is often filtered, heated, and blended to appear uniform, raw honey retains its natural enzymes, pollen, and nutrients. It varies with the seasons, the climate, and the flowers the bees feed on, ensuring each batch is unique.
Crystallisation
Crystallisation is a natural process in raw honey and does not affect its quality. Over time, the honey may crystallise, changing its texture to a grainier form. For more information, check our Runny Honey Guide or visit Wikipedia.

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.

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.

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.
