Is this certified RAW honey? Can you describe your "gentle filtering". thank you for your help!

It does not say certified. The bottle says low temperature melting and simple straining. We have purchased for several years and are very happy with this honey.

Thing is, true Honey turns to crystal, that is why you rarely see it in a bottle, it can't flow.

I will write what is on the label: We only use low temperature melting and simple straining to maintain all the pollens, enzymes, vitamins and minerals that overheating and force-filtering destroy. This is just a part of the wording. On the front it states: RAW AND GENTLY FILTERED and pure honey.

I went to their website. The only thing listed on the certification link is "gluten free".

No, it does not say raw on the bottle. But, my understanding is - organic means pure, unadulterated - that is, not filtered. One honey I buy at HEB says raw but it is not organic. But this is a good company - they may explain the terms for you since some are used with different definitions.

Sorry Beth, I finished that bottle and no longer have it. I am using Wedderspoon New Zealand Manuka Honey and that label says, "Active 16+". (also excellent)

You are correct. The label does not say "raw". I have assumed because it is unfiltered and uncooked that it is raw. Sorry I cannot be more helpful.

This one is not organic. Some people confuse the NAME OF THE COMPANY on the jar (which says "YS Organic Bee Farms") with the product actually being organic. It is not. This is raw non-organic honey. I don't really care about the organic part, just that it's raw, AND tastes delicious. (Which I assure you this one does!)

According to the labeling, it is USDA certified organic raw, unprocessed honey and it looks like it is. I can tell you that it has benefited me as far as a skin rash that I had for more than 5 years and it went away after taking this. It works wonders on open cuts and sores! I keep this stuff around all the time.

I am not really sure how to tell if it is pure honey, but the ingredient list says it is and it is very good in tea.

It's classified as liquid honey, which means it's been pasteurized and filtered. While it's definitely filtered, it is probably not ultra-filtered. There could be some pollen in it, but probably not much.

Hi Bruce,I copied this from the makers website:Stakich Raw Honey comes straight from the extractor, unheated, unfiltered, unprocessed. Because of this, all of its enzymes, vitamins and minerals are kept intact. It also contains some bee pollen, propolis and beeswax. This means that all of its original nutrients are fully preserved.It says that it contains 'some' pollen. So I'm not sure if it's a lot. I didn't really detect the pollen when using the product but it is very yummy.Jean

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

You can use any real honey for baking, raw or not. Filtered, or not. However, keep in mind that when raw honey is heated up to a very high temperature (such as when cooked or baked) for a period of time, it starts to burn away the vitamins, minerals, and other healthy properties that makes raw and unfiltered honey so great and good for over-all health. It won't make the honey taste bad or anything. It just becomes more like the cheaper processed honey (that lacks the nutritional benefits that raw honey has) that you commonly find on regular store shelves.

Dear Bruce,The short answer is, YES. This is this actually unprocessed and unfiltered, among other non invasive procesdures which are generally harmful - e.g. heating - these and others are not used.As a result the honey using 'raw' honey straight from the honeycomb and contains many things such as enzymes, vitamins and other than essential natural 'Mother Nature' ingredients. One of those is small particles of 'bee pollen'. If you want you can order Bee Pollen such as: Stakich BRAZILIAN BEE POLLEN GRANULES 1 lb - 100% Pure, Natural, Unprocessed - I have ordered the honey you are asking about as well as Really Raw Honey (Canadian) and others and thoroughly have enjoyed for many years.

No, not at all. The one and only ingredient in this is organic raw honey. Personally, I think the reference just indicates the typical light "butterscotchy" taste that most true honey has.

Yes it is raw and unprocessed as well as certified organic. I belie wits made of wildflower honey. If you go to the makers website they say their bee colonies are placed in areas where the bees can collect the pollen away from contaminants or something like that. It's really great honey.

It says on the jar, "unpasteurized, unprocessed, raw state." It is very delicious and I think the best honey I've ever had.

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!!!!

I don't think so. I read the label and it is royal Jelly and other ingredients are "Quality Raw Honey".
