Howlett Hill Honey is unprocessed and unfiltered. As it drips and flows from the comb it is screened to remove bee parts and wax. No pollen is removed. Our honey is considered raw honey because it is never heated above 95 degrees, the internal temperature of the beehive. This ensures that the plant-based essential oils that contribute to Howlett Hill Honey's unique sensory characteristics remain intact. The proteins, minerals, amino acids, enzymes, and complex carbohydrates that contribute to the nutritional content of our honey are unharmed. This also ensures that Howlett Hill Honey's mouthfeel and palate profile remain unique to our honey and our region. Each harvest is slightly different...so enjoy!
