Really Raw Honey, 1 X 16 Oz

by Really Raw

Product Features

• No Pesticides
• Totally unheated and unstrained

• Straight from the hive to the jar

Product Description

We use goldenrod and aster nectar and our cold packing process to produce our creamy, crystalline texture and rich, full-bodied flavor. This fall the Aster plant bloomed in abundance, and the bees foraged enthusiastically. Aster causes the honey to crystallize firm and smooth. If you would like to soften your honey, place the jar in warm water or leave in a warm room - this will not cause any loss of enzymes or other healthful properties in the honey!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Quality, April 19, 2008

This review is from: Really Raw Honey, 1 X 16 Oz (Misc.)

I don't normally use honey but I drink a fair amount of tea and wanted something healthier than white sugar or products like Splenda, etc.

Just got two one pound jars of Really Raw Honey and I must say it's much nicer than what I'm used to at the local grocery store.

It's packed in glass jars which is the proper way to pack honey (it can absorb things from plastics). Plus its totally unfiltered yet seems more sophisticated in both taste and texture than the super market stuff.

It's a solid, so it's less messy than the liquid variety. I just made a cup of tea and dipped a spoon into the honey and it scoops easily up and melted into my tea right away,

If you think honey is too cumbersome to use, reconsider. I can't honestly say this brand is better than others in its class but it is definitely nicer than the typical filtered, liquid, plastic squeeze container variety found in most super market brands.

Addendum: April 2009 - my latest jars have been 2Lbs 10oz sizes. These have been packed in plastic, not glass jars unlike my 1lb jars were. If this is of concern to you, contact mfgr. to ask about glass jar options.

EDIT: Feb 2010 - I should add that I buy direct from Really Raw. Their price includes shipping within the continental US - FYI

5.0 out of 5 stars WOW - The BEST Honey !!!, November 6, 2009

This review is from: Really Raw Honey, 1 X 16 Oz (Misc.)

Let me just start by saying that I am the kind of gal who cooks for her family and tries very hard to either buy local grown or when those aren't available, organic products. I tried the Really Raw Honey - OH MY GOSH! Hands down - the BEST honey I have ever tasted! When you open the jar, you notice it has a beautiful fragrance! It tastes like honey and flowers - it is so smooth, flavorful, delightful! No preservatives, no heating, no pesticides... Just like if you went out, took a knife and scraped a bee-hive. Soooo GOOOOD!

One reviewer had an issue with it not being "organic". I would just like to say that the bees are local to where the manufacturer is. They pollinate on flowers that have not been sprayed, harvested.... They are providing as pure and free-from-by-product honey as you can get on the market today. And remember - organic, although better than off the shelf produce/meat/eggs... does not mean free-range, local grown.... That is a whole different topic that I could go on about.

A note on the cappings (crust as some put it), that is a very important and enzyme dense feature. It is to be eaten. It is DELICIOUS!!!!! When you take a bite, it is sweet - like the honey, and chewy like a yummy treat. Then after that, it is chewy like gum - which is bits of wax from the honeycomb. This is highly sought after and full of good stuff for your bodies. So, don't throw it away - eat it!

I recommend this honey A++!! - And EAT THE CAPPINGS!!!
