Raw honey: eleven varieties
We make eleven raw honeys with our own bees, each with its own color, taste and harvest time: from acacia honey, very pale and gentle, to chestnut honey, very dark and strong. They are cold-extracted and unpasteurized, and we fill every jar by hand in our honey house in Casavells.

How to choose your honey
If you are not sure where to start, think about how you like your honey and what you will use it for.
- Gentle (intensity 1 and 2)
- Acacia, rosemary, orange blossom and wildflower honey. They go well with yogurt, fresh cheeses and herbal teas.
- More character (intensity 3)
- Lavender, eucalyptus, thyme and forest honeydew honey. The aroma is floral in lavender honey, warm and woody in eucalyptus, herbal in thyme and malty in forest honey.
- Intense (intensity 4 and 5)
- Heather, strawberry tree and chestnut honey. They are dark, with a bitter touch. Try them with aged cheeses.
- For spreading
- The ones that usually turn creamy as they crystallize: rosemary, thyme and heather.
- Runny for months
- Acacia, which can go several months without crystallizing.
What raw honey means
It is extracted cold and never pasteurized or taken above 40 °C.
All raw honey crystallizes in the end. When it happens depends on the harvest and the mix of nectars, and in cold weather it can take just 2-3 days; acacia takes the longest. It is a natural change and does not mean the honey has gone bad. If you prefer it runny, warm the jar in a double boiler, never above 40 °C and never in the microwave.
We hold the local-sale accreditation of the Generalitat de Catalunya.
Not suitable for babies under 12 months.
