Raw honey: what is it?
“Raw honey” usually means honey kept as close to its natural state as possible: pure, not unnecessarily heated, and with its natural character. Crystallization is completely normal.
What to look for in raw honey
Great honey isn’t about one “hack”. It’s about purity, transparency, and natural properties.
- Purity: no syrups, no aromas, no additives.
- Crystallization: many types crystallize quickly (e.g., rapeseed). That’s normal.
- Flavor: light (acacia), floral (linden), or dark & bold (buckwheat).
- Origin: clear sourcing and careful harvesting.
