What is raw honey and how is it different from regular honey?

Raw honey is unpasteurized and unfiltered, meaning it keeps all its natural enzymes, pollen, and nutrients. Unlike commercial honey, it’s never heat-treated or overly processed — just as the bees made it.

Is your honey pasteurized or heated during processing?

No. Our honey is never heated or pasteurized. It’s hand-harvested in Mascouche, Quebec, and kept raw to preserve all its natural health benefits.

Does raw honey crystallize? Is it still safe to eat?

Yes! Raw honey naturally crystallizes over time — a sign of purity. You can enjoy it crystallized or gently warm the jar to return it to liquid form.

Where does your honey come from?

Every drop is harvested by hand at our family apiary in Mascouche, Quebec, using sustainable and bee-friendly practices.

How do I store raw honey?

Keep your jar sealed at room temperature, away from heat or sunlight. No refrigeration needed — raw honey never spoils.

Can I use raw honey for sore throats or skincare?

Absolutely. Raw honey is a natural remedy for sore throats and can be used in skincare routines thanks to its antibacterial and soothing properties.

Do you ship raw honey across Canada and the U.S.?

Yes, we ship our small-batch honey anywhere in Canada and the United States. Each order is carefully packed and sent directly from our Quebec farm.

Elevate Any Meal with Honey

Raw honey isn’t just for toast or tea—it’s a culinary powerhouse that pairs incredibly well with both sweet and savory ingredients. Whether you're entertaining guests or just treating yourself, here are five perfect foods to enjoy with a drizzle of nature’s golden nectar.

1. Aged Cheese

There’s nothing quite like the contrast of sweet and salty. Honey pairs especially well with bold cheeses like aged cheddar, brie, goat cheese, and blue cheese. The creaminess of the cheese and the floral sweetness of honey create an irresistible balance.

2. Fresh Bread or Croissants

A warm slice of rustic bread or a flaky croissant is the perfect canvas for raw honey. The honey seeps into the layers, bringing a natural sweetness to your morning or afternoon snack.

👉 Pro tip: Add a dab of butter or soft cheese for the ultimate bite.

3. Greek Yogurt or Skyr

Plain yogurt and honey are a match made in breakfast heaven. The creamy tartness of yogurt is beautifully balanced by the smooth sweetness of honey.

👉 Add-ons: Top with fresh berries, nuts, or granola for texture and flavor.

4. Roasted Nuts

Drizzle honey over warm almonds, walnuts, or pecans for a sweet and crunchy treat. It’s perfect as a snack or a gourmet addition to salads.

👉 Try this: Honey-roasted pecans with sea salt and rosemary.

5. Herbal Tea

Skip the sugar and sweeten your herbal tea with a spoonful of raw honey. It enhances the tea’s flavor while providing its natural health benefits—soothing, comforting, and cozy.

👉 Best pairings: Chamomile, mint, lemon balm, or rooibos.

A Sweet Conclusion

Whether you're building a charcuterie board, making breakfast, or just need a cozy cup of tea, raw honey adds depth, balance, and rustic charm to every dish. The key? Always use raw, unpasteurized honey to preserve its full flavor and natural goodness.
