Raw honey, from the hive to your house
Raw honey is honey that has not been pasteurized, has not been subjected to any artificial process in order to be extracted and has been packaged as it comes out of the hive, thus maintaining all its properties and benefits.

Characteristics
Raw honey tends to crystallize, that is, it hardens or acquires a much denser texture over time, but it can become liquid again in a water bath at a temperature not higher than 40ºC. When heated in this way, it keeps its properties.
Does it stop being raw honey if I heat it to make it liquid?
It depends on how it is heated. If it is done gradually at a controlled temperature no higher than 40ºC, just like the bees do in the hive to eat it, we would be using their same system and, therefore, it would be a completely natural method.
However, if it is heated in the microwave, even on the lowest power, all the enzymes are destroyed and therefore the natural chemical composition is altered.
Benefits of raw honey
- Raw honey is an excellent natural antibiotic, because it stimulates the immune system, and, in addition, it is a good wound healer due to its antibacterial properties. Although it should not replace medicines.
- It keeps all its properties. The pasteurization of industrial honeys makes the honey easier to handle and more attractive to the consumer, but it loses the enzymatic properties of honey, thus destroying the beneficial bacteria and antioxidants found only in 100% natural and raw honey.
- The flavour of honey remains intact. When you try raw honey, you can taste the difference compared to other artificial honeys. It is like eating honey straight from the honeycomb, a gourmet flavour that you can savour in your own home.
- It can help with seasonal allergies. As it is filtered by decantation, the traces of pollen naturally present in honey are kept in small quantities, so if raw honey is consumed regularly it can help to improve our allergies and mitigate the symptoms that are suffered in the spring.
