Which Of Your Honeys Are Raw?

At Savannah Bee Company, we are proud to offer a variety of unpasteurized honeys, and we value transparency when it comes to labeling products as raw.

What Is Raw Honey?

“Raw honey” refers to honey that has not been pasteurized (heated to high temperatures for extended periods) and retains its natural enzymes, pollen, and nutrients.

While all of our honeys are unpasteurized, some require slightly more warmth during filtering and are not classified as raw. We label our honeys clearly to help you make informed choices.

Honeys That Are Considered Raw

These honeys are gently filtered and only briefly warmed to low temperatures (under 5 minutes), preserving their natural goodness. You’ll find “Raw Honey” printed on the label, just below the honey name:

• Acacia Honey
• Sourwood Honey
• Lavender Honey
• Tupelo Honey

Looking for the Purest Raw Honey Experience?

If you're looking for the most raw honey possible, our Raw Honeycomb is the ultimate choice.

🐝 It's cut straight from the hive, untouched by any filtering or processing — just as the bees made it.

Honeycomb offers a uniquely authentic taste and texture that’s as close as you can get to honey in its natural form.

Honeys That Are Not Considered Raw

Some varieties, such as Orange Blossom and Wildflower, require slightly higher temperatures during filtering. These are still unpasteurized and delicious, but not labeled as raw.

These include:

• Orange Blossom Honey
• Wildflower Honey
• Black Sage Honey
• Specialty honeys (e.g., Hot Honey, Whipped Honeys)

How Can I Tell If a Honey Is Raw?

Check the product label — if it’s raw, you’ll see “Raw Honey” printed directly under the honey type.

If it only says “Honey,” it does not meet our raw classification, though it is still unpasteurized.
