FLOWER HONEY

Raw honey is not pasteurized and not industrially processed. This preserves the natural enzymes, antioxidants, vitamins, and pollen. Regular honey from the supermarket is often heated and filtered, causing many of these nutrients to be lost.

We are fans of local honey, but in many parts of the Netherlands there is little supply and it is often quickly sold out. Supermarket honey is usually heated and processed. Our Spanish honey is a pure and honest alternative for those who find it difficult to get good honey locally.

Crystallization is a natural process in genuine raw honey. It proves that the honey has not been heated or diluted with sugar syrup. You can easily make crystallized honey liquid again by gently warming the jar au bain-marie (below 40 °C).

Yes. Each batch is tested in advance for nutritional value and purity before it is packaged and sold. This way we are sure that the honey is rich in enzymes, antioxidants, and contains no unwanted substances. Only honey that meets our quality standards goes into the jar.

Honey is not recommended for children younger than 1 year, due to the (small) risk of botulism. For older children and adults, raw honey is safe and nutritious.

Yes, our flower honey is 100% sourced from reliable beekeepers in Spain. We do not use blends from multiple countries and avoid 'non-EU' origin. Transparency and quality are our top priorities.

Although the bees collect their nectar in untreated natural areas in Spain, it is impossible to exactly control where they fly. According to European regulations, the environment within a radius of 3 kilometers around the beehive must be completely organic. Because this honey comes from wild flowers in open nature, the official label is missing — but the quality is no less

Store the honey at room temperature, in a dry place and out of direct sunlight. The honey does not need to be refrigerated – that actually speeds up crystallization. Properly sealed, it remains good for years.

Good question – and that is exactly why we only work with small-scale beekeepers, without intermediaries or anonymous bulk imports. Our honey is not heated, not mixed, and is tested for nutritional value. What you get is what the bees make.

Yes. Our honey is not heated or filtered. That means the enzymes, minerals, pollen, and antioxidants are preserved. It is a pure natural product, just as honey is meant to be.

No. During the production period, the bees do not receive sugar water or artificial feed. They get their nutrition from what nature provides them. Only if it is really necessary outside the harvest season (for example in winter), is responsible supplementary feeding given to keep the colony alive — a common and careful practice in beekeeping.

The differences are mainly in the label, not necessarily in the method. Organic honey must meet specific EU requirements such as:

No intensive agriculture or industry within 3 km of the hive

Strict certification of the area

Our Spanish honey comes from pristine areas but does not carry an official EU organic label. The quality and purity are comparable or even better, as there is minimal intervention and the honey remains raw.

Some people react more mildly to honey from the region where they live, due to exposure to local pollen. That does not mean that Spanish honey is bad — but people with a (severe) pollen allergy can sometimes react more sensitively to non-local honey. Unsure? Then start with a small amount and observe your reaction.

In raw, unfiltered honey there are always natural components, because the honey is not industrially processed.

The red/brown specks are usually:
Pollen grains from flowers (some types are red/brown in color).

Propolis or resin particles that the bees carry.
Sometimes a small piece of wax from the comb.

Is it safe?
Yes, this is completely normal and actually a sign that the honey is truly raw and pure. In filtered supermarket honey this is removed, but then you also miss many of the natural ingredients.
