Curious about how to enjoy that delectable jar of Creamy Honey?

You know that crazy (for us) thing we did a few months back...MacKinnon Christmas Market. It seems eons ago now but funny enough, the biggest take away from that event is that people are unsure of how to consume creamy honey. I meant to share ideas about this right after the event and promptly forgot but since someone asked me in the bakery this week, the idea is fresh in my mind again so here we go...


To begin, it's important to note that our creamy honey is raw and unpasteurized, ensuring it retains all its health benefits.

It is not heated or filtered, only stirred slowly for 36 hours and then amplified by a touch of an organic ingredient -  in our case it’s organic cinnamon, freeze dried organic raspberries, organic pumpkin spice or organic cocoa. If flavoured isn't your thing there's plain creamy summer blossom honey too. 

Note... creamy honey is not the same as crystallized honey. 

The smooth and spreadable nature of creamy honey with its' built in no mess really transforms it into a culinary gem. I mean just slathering it on toast is the perfect way to enjoy it but here are some other ways too….

Here are some ways to enjoy Creamy Honey:


Morning Oatmeal Bliss
Kick the brown sugar to the curb and elevate your daily oatmeal by drizzling it with our Cinnamon Swirl Honey. I like to dress up my oatmeal like a salad, add a dollop of Greek yogurt, some seeds maybe, and a small sprinkling of raisins or dried cranberries and then a generous dollop of honey that melts into the oatmeal. Give it a stir - this is a great healthy way to kickstart your day! Yum!


Glazed Vegetables Extravaganza
Break the mold by using honey in savoury dishes. Our Creamy Honey Cinnamon makes a superb glaze for roasted carrots, sweet potatoes or squash. Drizzle it just before they're done, and you’ll have yourself caramelized goodness with a hint of cinnamon.


Gourmet Coffee or Tea
Make your daily coffee or tea ritual special by adding a dollop of Creamy Honey. Stir in a spoonful to transform your beverage into a gourmet experience. This is especially good with our pumpkin spice, chocolate or cinnamon swirl.
