Raw Honey | Unheated, Unprocessed & Alive
✧ What is Raw Honey?
Raw honey is honey in its original state, unheated and only coarsely filtered. It keeps the enzymes, pollen, propolis and trace minerals that the bees originally brought into the comb. Most supermarket honey is heated to slow crystallisation and finely filtered to a clear, glass-like finish, which strips out many of those natural compounds. Our honey is single-origin Bulgarian wildflower honey, jarred warm and direct from the hive, with nothing added or removed beyond a single coarse strain.
Honey is one of the original foods. Humans have gathered it from wild hives for over 8,000 years, and beekeeping is older than written history. In the kitchen it is a natural sweetener, a slow source of carbohydrate, and a small daily luxury. Use it the way grandmothers always have: by the spoon, on warm toast, stirred into porridge, drizzled over yoghurt.
What it tastes like
Our raw honey carries a deep caramel character with a hint of warm florals. The flavour shifts a little with the season because the bees forage freely across wildflowers, herbs and tree blossom. It is rich, slow and unhurried in the mouth, the way honey was before mass production made it uniform. Some batches lean more floral, others more amber and woody, depending on what was in bloom when the hives were warm.

✧ Where does Na'vi's Honey come from?
Our honey comes from hives kept in the mountains of Bulgaria, inside one of the country's protected nature reserves. The bees forage freely on wildflowers, herbs and tree blossom across miles of undisturbed land. They are not fed sugar syrup before winter, and they are not treated with chemicals or antibiotics. The honey is harvested gently, jarred without heat, and shipped directly to us.
✧ Why does Raw Honey crystallise, and is it still good?
Yes, crystallised honey is still good. Crystallisation is the natural process where the glucose in raw honey forms small crystals over time, and it is actually a sign that the honey has not been heat-treated. Pasteurised supermarket honey rarely crystallises because the heating delays it. To return crystallised honey to a flowing state, place the jar in warm (never hot) water for a few minutes. Cool, slow warmth keeps the enzymes and pollen intact.
✧ How to use Raw Honey?
Spoon it, drizzle it, savour it slowly. Our raw honey is alive with natural enzymes, pollen and trace minerals.
Ways to enjoy:
- Straight out of the jar for a spoonful of pure sweet magic
- Stirred gently into warm (not hot) drinks
- Drizzled over porridge, yoghurt or fruit
- Spread thickly on warm toast
- Stirred together with our raw English ghee on warm toast or in bedtime drinks
- Used as a natural sweetener in dressings and desserts
- As a hydrating honey mask in a simple, slow beauty ritual
Children: Children under one year of age should not be given honey because of the risk of infant botulism. Most authorities extend this caution to children under three.
Raw honey naturally crystallises over time, which is a sign of purity. To slow this, keep the jar somewhere warm. To return crystallised honey to a flowing state, sit the jar in warm (not hot) water.
✧ How has Raw Honey traditionally been used?
Honey has been part of human food and culture for thousands of years. In ancient Greece it was an athlete's food, used by Olympic competitors as a quick natural energy source. Across Ayurveda, Traditional Chinese Medicine and folk European traditions, it has appeared in nightly rituals, in beauty preparations, and as a base for herbal infusions. For another unprocessed bee product, try our Premium Bee Bread (Ambrosia / Perga), the bees' own fermented pollen.
In modern kitchens, raw honey remains:
- A natural humectant used in homemade honey face masks for its moisturising character. Mix a small amount with warm water or a facial oil and apply to clean skin for 10 to 15 minutes before rinsing.
- A slow source of natural sugars enjoyed around exercise, training and recovery.
- A comforting evening ritual stirred into warm (not hot) milk or herbal tea.
- A natural sweetener that contains pollen, propolis and trace antioxidants, all preserved by the absence of heat treatment.
Please note: since Brexit, some orders containing ghee and honey have been refused entry into the EU by customs. EU customers ordering these products do so as per our delivery terms.
