What is raw honey Large.jpeg
What is raw honey? In plain and simple terms, raw honey is honey that has not been subject to any heat or processing that wouldn't normally occur in the beehive

What is raw honey?

Our honey is made by real bees in the UK. It's never heated above hive temperature. It's unpasteurised. It's cold filtered using coarse sieves. We believe the word raw is a helpful term when it comes to honey and that is why we proudly display the term across all of our runny honey products.

Understanding Raw Honey - Unprocessed and Natural

Raw honey is a hugely popular but subjective term. To some it means honey that is straight from the hive, with minimal tampering, filtering or excessive processing. We used the term unpasteurised but we now use the term raw.

UK raw honey is a very subjective term and it could be argued that most honey produced by UK beekeepers is 'raw'. Cheap imported honey tends to be pasteurised, to improve shelf life, which reduces the health benefits of the honey.

The Basics of Raw Honey - Pure, Unfiltered, and Nutritious

Unprocessed honey retains numerous enzymes, minerals and antioxidants. We strive to keep our honey as natural as it can be. We use a coarse/cold filtering method and limit any heating to the temperature within the hive.

What Makes Raw Honey Special - Exploring Its Natural Properties

Pure honey and 'raw' honey are used to describe the same thing - a honey that is unprocessed, coarse filtered and straight from the beehive. Our honey contains all of the natural enzymes that are present when the honey is in the beehive.

The Essence of Raw Honey - Straight from the Hive to You

Most of the products on the Black Mountain Honey website will indicate that the honey is raw. Where we have heated the product above the temperature of the hive to create a smooth soft set product, we do not use the term raw honey.
