Our Products

The product images used on the website are not always an exact representation of the colour or consistency of the honey you will receive due to the natural variation of raw honey. Raw honey will naturally set, so don’t panic. Just put it in lukewarm water (no more than 40 °C) until it turns liquid again.

Keep in mind that honey is unsuitable for infants under 12 months old.
