Let’s unravel the magic behind creamy honey… First things first — creamy honey has zero to do with cream. No dairy, no mixing, no tricks. Creamed honey is as natural as it gets, with all the goodness and health benefits of raw honey intact. What we’re doing is simply encouraging a process that Mother Nature kicks off on her own with high-quality, unpasteurized honey.
It all begins with a special blend of raw honey and finely crystallized honey, often called “seed honey” or “starter.” These two get carefully mixed in our honey creaming machine, where the real magic starts. The honey is gently stirred for 15 minutes every hour — for at least 36 hours — until it becomes luxuriously smooth.
And here’s where things get interesting… creamy honey is a lot like wine: no two are exactly the same. The texture and flavour differ from beekeeper to beekeeper. Crystal size in the starter, the amount of seed honey, and even the flavour additions all shape the final jar. We take it a step further by perfecting our starter until it’s silky-smooth and pairing it with high-quality organic ingredients for flavours that truly shine.
Temperature plays a role, too. Once we jar it, the honey needs time to “set up,” ideally in a cool place — which is exactly why creamy honey takes a little holiday during the heat of summer.
In our house, creamy honey is an all-time favourite. It’s incredibly tasty and wonderfully spreadable — like caramel, but without the sticky aftermath.
And it’s not just for spooning straight from the jar (although no judgement here). Creamy honey is a little culinary magician: stir it into your morning coffee or latte for something special; make a delicious vinaigrette, add a dollop to apple crisp, granola, or baking; or slather it on warm toast — especially the creamy chocolate, which tastes like a healthier Nutella made with just honey and organic cocoa. The possibilities are endless… and delicious.
So there you have it — creamy honey, the sweet secret straight from nature’s pantry. Dive in, spread it, stir it, savour it.
