What is raw forest honey?

Raw forest honey is different from processed honey, raw honey means that the honey is packed from the hive to the jar with minimal interference, preserving all the minerals, vitamins, pollen, propolis, jelly and more additives typical of the raw honey.

Most industrial honey is highly processed so that it always looks the same and attractive, as a consequence of these processes and pasteurization carried out by many producers, enzymes, pollens and most of the properties of honey are lost.

La miel cruda de bosque que cosechamos varía sutilmente en algunos de sus matices como el color de un lote a otro, por eso podrás percibir algunas variaciones de una temporada a otra, debido a lluvias, temperaturas durante la floración que hacen que las floraciones se adelanten o atrasen, produciendo variaciones en el sabor de nuestra miel pura. Los beneficios de esta variedad radica precisamente en la multitud de plantas y arbustos de bosque y monte de los que las abejas se nutren para la producción de la cosecha. 

Keep in mind that raw honey crystallizes and this is a natural process that occurs mainly due to the natural glucose in raw honey.

CRYSTALLIZATION

The crystallization process is something natural in raw honey, it is a process by which the honey hardens. You can consume it perfectly in this state, but if you want to reverse this state, simply place it in a water bath for a few minutes, trying not to exceed 40º.
