Types of Honey

You may be thinking that honey is honey.  Honey comes in many forms.  There are all kinds of honey.  We offer varietal honey and flavored honey on a regular basis to our customers.  We even get requests or additional types of honey.  Here are some of the most popular types of honey sold: 

Comb Honey

Comb honey is honey in its original form; that is, honey inside of the honeycomb.  The beeswax comb is all natural, soft and edible.  About 50 years ago, more people at comb honey than bottled honey. 

Cut Comb

Cut comb honey is liquid honey that has added chunks of the honey comb in the jar. This is also known as a liquid-cut comb combination. Some beekeepers will call this crushed honey.  They simple smash it up so that the consumer gets a little wax in their teaspoon full of honey. 

Liquid Honey

Most honey is sold as liquid honey.  Free of visible crystals, liquid honey is extracted from the honey comb by centrifugal force, gravity or straining. People put it in bottles for easy pouring and usage 

Naturally Crystallized Honey

Naturally crystallized honey is honey in which part of the glucose content has spontaneously crystallized.  Its honey in a solid state.  Natural crystals are bigger than creamed honey crystals so it feels like sugar on the tongue.  So many people believe it "turns into sugar" it does not.  It's just crystallized honey. 

Whipped (or Creamed) Honey

While all honey will crystallize in time, whipped honey (also known as creamed honey) is brought to market in a crystallized state. The crystallization is controlled so that, at room temperature, the honey can be spread like butter or jelly. The old timers call this spun honey.
