How Is Honey Processed? Exploring Raw and Unfiltered Organic Honey — My Dad’s Honey Echuca

When it comes to honey, many of us are familiar with the golden, sweet nectar that is a staple in our kitchen. However, not all honey is produced equal. One of the most common questions that honey enthusiasts often ask is about the difference between filtered and unfiltered honey and how raw honey is processed. Here at My Dad’s Honey, we take pride in our Australian raw and unfiltered honey, and we’d like to shed some light on this topic.

Filtered Honey vs. Raw & Unfiltered Honey: What’s the difference?

Filtered honey undergoes a meticulous process to remove impurities and particulates. These impurities often encompass wax, bee parts, and even pollen. The process typically involves heating the honey, making it easier to strain, but it may also strip away some of the honey’s natural richness. Pasteurisation or heating at high temperatures is how most commercial honey is processed.

On the flip side, raw & unfiltered honey sidesteps the rigorous filtration process, preserving its natural state. It may contain tiny particles, including pollen, and maintains its original flavours, aroma, and health benefits. Our raw & unfiltered, organic honey celebrates this authenticity.

How is Raw and Unfiltered Honey Processed?

But how is honey processed to maintain its organic and raw & unfiltered integrity?

Raw and unfiltered honey, as the name suggests, is not subjected to the fine filtration process that removes wax, bee parts, and other larger particles commonly found in raw honey. However, unfiltered honey may still undergo some basic processing steps to ensure it is clean and safe for consumption without losing its natural goodness.
