Raw, Filtered or Pasteurised: What's the Difference?

Raw honey is honey as it exists in the hive — extracted, strained of wax and debris, and bottled without heating.

Filtered honey is pushed through fine filters, often under pressure and heat, removing pollen and fine particles to create a clear, uniform look.

Pasteurised honey is heated to high temperatures to slow crystallisation and extend shelf appearance. Heat can affect some of honey's naturally occurring compounds, aromas and enzymes.

Our honey is cold-extracted and non-irradiated, so it stays as close to its natural state as possible. Crystallisation is a natural sign of raw honey — simply warm the jar gently in lukewarm water to return it to liquid.
