Thaiman Organic Raw Honey / Honey / Kombu Honey - 1kg

Raw honey is best described as honey “as it exists in the beehive” . It is made by extracting honey from the honeycombs of the hive and pouring it over a mesh or nylon cloth to separate the honey from impurities like beeswax and dead bees . Once strained, raw honey is bottled and ready to be enjoyed.
What is Raw Honey?

According to the National Honey Board there is no concrete definition for the term “raw honey.”  However recently the state of Utah passed HB148 that requires that honey produced, packed, repacked, distributed, or sold in this state may only be labeled as raw honey if meets the definition of raw honey described as follows:
“Raw Honey” means honey as it exists in the beehive or as obtained by extraction, settling, or straining; and that has not been heated above 118 degrees Fahrenheit during production or storage; or pasteurized.
As a beekeeper and connoisseur of fine honey I personally believe that honey cannot be considered raw if it has been heated over 105 degrees.

Taste -

Heating the honey past 105 changes not only the texture but also the taste of the honey. Raw honey is often creamy and smooth with little to no aftertaste. Pasteurized honey (burned honey) has a noticeable smokey aftertaste.  I’m not sure quite how to explain it but if you have had the pleasure of enjoying raw honey frequently, you’ll immediately notice the distinctly burned taste.
