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.
