There is often confusion about the differences between raw honey, natural honey, pure honey, real honey and so-called ‘fake’ honey. Put simply, raw, natural, pure, unfiltered, and real honey is essentially the same thing – 100% honey. This means is the honey in the jar was made by bees, not in a factory. If you are looking to buy raw honey, you have come to the right place! Simply Honey’s range of raw Australian honey is 100% pure and natural, and you can buy bulk raw honey here.
Fake honey refers to a honey-like product that has been modified with flavours, fillers, dyes, and sugar. In fact, some fake ‘honey’ may not even contain any bee honey at all, instead being manufactured of a mix of glucose syrups, inverted sugar solutions (from refined sugar) or corn, cane or beet syrup.
Now that we have explained what fake honey is, let’s look at the differences in pure, raw and real honey. There is a rough hierarchy of different bee honey types that are available to buy, with the top of the hierarchy being 100% genuine natural honey or raw honey.
The minimal processing of raw honey ensures it still contains all the valuable natural properties of real bee honey, including the health benefits of this delicious, nutritious food created by nature. When a recipe calls for raw honey, this is the type they are recommending.
At Australian Beekeepers’ Honey, we only sell raw honey. Our honey is unpasteurised, offering you the highest quality pure Australian honey available.
