Raw Organic Greek Mediterranean Oak: This is a fantastic batch of Mediterranean (Holm) Oak from beekeeper Kostas. One of the highest ratings we have ever seen. It has a caramel taste with a touch of fruitiness as well as the malty/treacly flavour that is more common with tree honey. You will also taste notes of stewed fruits, like plums. 

Plant - Oak (a tree honey), tends to be dark, has a stronger flavour and is less likely to set due to a relatively low glucose content.

Colour - Tree honey tends to be dark

Honey State - Oak honey is less likely to set due to a relatively low glucose content.

Common Uses Being such a rich deep honey it's great at breakfast time, either on porridge,  buttered toast or just enjoyed straight from the spoon!

How Raw Honey is different from Processed Honey - Raw honey generally means the honey has not been processed, it has come from the hive to the jar with minimal interference. Most supermarket honey is highly processed to make it look more attractive, usually it has been largely drained of pollen, heated and blended. Raw honey tends to vary from batch to batch, this is because it is not processed in a factory, filtered or heated to look homogeneous. Raw honey changes with the season and climate, the soil, what the bees feed on, and the nature of the colonies.

Crystallisation:-  Please know that raw honey does crystallise and is a natural process of raw honey (therefore we cannot except returns on honey that may have crystallised). We indicate on the website the state of each honey - either runny or crystallised but be aware this is to the best of our knowledge and the state can change quickly.   If you want your honey runny and it has crystallised it's very easy to return it to runny go to this link Runny Honey  or see this section under our FAQ's Why Is My Honey Crystallised?

We only supply raw honey because we believe this is how all honey should be.  If you don't want your honey to crystallise then raw honey probably isn't for you.
