Is the honey processed?

But of course! Raw honey has a multitude of beneficial enzymes & antioxidants in it. Unprocessed honey tends to border on the cryustalised phase. Unfortunately raw honey is not recommended for infants' pacifiers as it contains botulin cultures. The fly in the ointment lies in processing even over a low heat double boiler the beneficial flora are destroyed. For the record; for a grown up there is no plausible reason to process honey. It is perfect just as nature made it! As to botulins...raw garlic so often used in cooking has a higher level w/v than honey. M. L.

I don't know but I love the taste I compared labels on processed honey sugar is same. This one does not have all the natural antioxidant removed. Honey can be used in other ways I have bought 4 jars of this will never buy the processed honey again. Dr oz likes raw honey too. Can mix with cinnamon to make a great remande for sleep and more. A friend sent me a excerpt on the benefits of raw honey it is on Facebook

No, is honey, BUT all the health benefits of it have been ReMOVED by ultrafiltration, so why pay the big bucks if the good stuff have been removed??? Get RAW HONEY instead!!!!

Yes. On the side of the jar it says that it is "unpasteurized", "unfiltered", "fresh raw state." Mine doesn't look like the one pictured. Mine actually has 100% certified organic raw honey with the green and white usda organic seal on the jar. This one shown in the picture doesn't have the word raw therefore, I'm not sure. They took the time to list it on the jar I have so I would think that if it is not listed then it's not.

It is raw....(not stated on the container) but the research I have done on this honey indicates it is raw honey....you will recognize the enormous good the honey does for your body. Highly recommend it.

I actually didn't know that. I'm new to the essential oils. I under the impression that this was a pure, unprocessed essential oils, so I would be disappointed if it was processed. If you learn anything, please let me know. -thank you

No this is not organic honey. If it were they would certainly advertise it on the jar.

I don't think it does because the label says it's pure organic honey... period. It also doesn't taste like the cheap honey you buy at grocery store.

If it is "sterile", does this mean that the active bacteria is no longer alive? Manuka honey is not supposed to be heated, correct?

Yes, the way you describe it is normal. Also, it will taste different than regular honey...stronger. I have been using it for nearly a year, and sometimes the honey will look a little different from jar to jar, darker or thicker. I think because it is all natural accounts for the difference. Your honey is fine.

This honey used to be guaranteed to be "From Colorado's Western Slope, Raw and Unfiltered". Not anymore. Ever since the company was acquired by Madhava Natural Sweeteners the honey has been guaranteed to be "100% pure USA honey" and it is now "Raw and Gently Filtered". That may be just fine for many customers...but I much preferred the honey when it was guaranteed to be from hives on the western slops of the Rockies and was unfiltered. I now seek out local farmer markets honey when I am in Colorado and northern New Mexico, if the beekeeper can give me more guarantees about the source of the honey and its minimal processing.

It's raw honey that has been crystallized or "creamed", raw honey will naturally crystallize after about 2 to 3 months. It gives the honey a lighter color, creamier texture, and can even give the honey a sightly sweeter flavor. Even processed and heated honey will crystallize after about year or so, but the crystallization that takes place with processed honey leaves it crunchy and unappealing to me. All honey, even this raw honey start out golden and flowing. Yes, that means your jar of honey from this company is already 2 to 3 months old(or older) at time of purchase, but since honey never really goes bad, that fact doesn't bother me.

They say on the jar that it has not been processed, I would say it is not heated. I love it.

I have not seen a separate label that you're referring to. It definitely says raw, unpasteurized, etc. on the jar label. The fact that it's pretty solid tells me that it has not been processed. That's all I can tell you. :-)

I believe the label. IT SAYS; PURE UNPASTEURIZED, UNFILTERED, {ALIVE ENZYMES, VITAMINS, MINERALS AND ALL THE NUTRIENTS ARE CAREFULLY PRESERVED AS A WHOLE FOOD} FRESH, STRAIGHT FROM THE HIVE! Don't give ANY TYPE of honey to a baby, because the honey may contain DEADLY BACTERIA.

I suggest you contact the company and ask them these questions. All I can tell you is what's on the bottle. On the bottle it says "Since 1973 we've partnered with local beekeepers to bring you the finest pure raw honey." " We only use low temperature melting and simple straining to maintain all the pollens, enzymes, vitamins and minerals that overheating and force-filtering destroy." On the front it says" raw & gently filtered". I've been using this honey for years and love the flavor. If you're looking for the company's definition of these specific words you'll have to ask them.

I finished mine long ago, but I believe it is mostly honey, with a bit of oral jelly.
