What is raw honey?

Raw honey is honey in its purest form, unfiltered and unheated, preserving all its natural nutrients and enzymes.

What’s the difference between raw honey and supermarket honey?

Supermarket honey may be heat-treated, filtered, and even contain additives. Raw honey retains its full health benefits and natural flavour.

Is raw honey safe to eat?

Yes, raw honey is safe for most people, but it should not be given to infants under 12 months or people with honey allergies.

How should I store raw honey?

Store raw honey in a warm, dark place, away from direct sunlight.

Can I put raw honey in my tea?

Yes, but avoid adding honey to tea that is hotter than 37°C/99°F to preserve its beneficial nutrients.

What is organic honey?

Organic honey is certified free from chemicals, pesticides, and antibiotics. Our honey is certified by a recognised organic body.

Are all your honeys organic?

Yes, all our honeys labelled as "organic" are certified, though we also offer some non-organic options.

Why does my honey crystallize?

Honey naturally crystallizes over time. This is a sign of real, raw honey. To return it to a liquid state, gently warm it.

Why is Baltic Latvian honey more expensive than supermarket honey?

Unlike processed supermarket honey, our honey is pure and unadulterated. The unique, pristine environment of Latvia results in honey with unmatched flavour and quality, which justifies the premium price.
