What is the difference between raw and creamed honey?

Frequently Asked Questions: Raw Honey vs Raw Creamed Honey

What is the difference between Raw Honey and Raw Creamed Honey?

Both are 100% pure, unpasteurised Australian honey, but they differ in texture and consistency. Raw Honey is liquid and runny, while Raw Creamed Honey has been gently stirred to create a smooth, spreadable, creamy texture. Both retain all their natural enzymes, nutrients, and health benefits.

How is Raw Creamed Honey made?

Raw Creamed Honey is made by controlling the natural crystallisation process. We gently stir the honey at a specific temperature to create fine, smooth crystals, resulting in a luxurious creamy texture. No heat, additives, or processing is involved - it's still 100% raw honey.

Does one taste different from the other?

The flavour is identical as they come from the same hive. However, the creamy texture of Raw Creamed Honey provides a different mouthfeel - it melts smoothly on the tongue and is less likely to drip, making it perfect for spreading on toast or adding to recipes.

Which one is better for me?

It's purely a matter of personal preference! Choose Raw Honey if you prefer a traditional liquid consistency for drizzling over yoghurt, mixing into drinks, or using in cooking. Choose Raw Creamed Honey if you prefer a spreadable texture that won't drip off your toast or spoon.

Do they have the same health benefits?

Absolutely! Both Raw Honey and Raw Creamed Honey contain the same natural enzymes, antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals. Neither has been heated or processed, so all the beneficial properties remain intact in both varieties.

Will Raw Honey eventually crystallise?

Yes, all raw honey naturally crystallises over time - it's actually a sign of quality and purity. If your Raw Honey crystallises, you can gently warm it in a water bath to return it to liquid form, or simply enjoy it in its crystallised state.

Can I use both types in cooking and baking?

Yes! Both work beautifully in recipes. Raw Honey dissolves more easily in liquids, making it ideal for beverages and marinades. Raw Creamed Honey is perfect for spreading, dolloping, and recipes where you want a thicker consistency.
