I bought this for my sister (she is in France and can't get it there) who swears by it for medicinal purposes. I think it's definitely processed. I will ask her and get back to you.

Almost certainly this honey is raw, unprocessed and uncooked. Cheap honeys are heated in order to get more out of the hive more quickly. If the honey were heated or filtered or processed in any way it would be see-through clear (until it crystallized) and it would have very little hydrogen peroxide activity as that would have evaporated away. The all-important enzyme activity of the honey would also have been denatured, rendering it useless. Manuka honey is an inherently expensive honey, made from manuka flowers, so it is worthwhile to take the time and extra steps to pack it raw, and just like with extra virgin olive oil, to take the extra care (using water-cooled packing machinery) to be sure that no part of it is heated, damaged, or oxidized in any way.

Just checked my packaging and it doesn't indicate. The research I did before I bought indicated that but I don't remember where I found that out at. Sorry to not be more helpful.

I suggest you contact the company and ask them these questions. All I can tell you is what's on the bottle. On the bottle it says "Since 1973 we've partnered with local beekeepers to bring you the finest pure raw honey." " We only use low temperature melting and simple straining to maintain all the pollens, enzymes, vitamins and minerals that overheating and force-filtering destroy." On the front it says" raw & gently filtered". I've been using this honey for years and love the flavor. If you're looking for the company's definition of these specific words you'll have to ask them.

No, not at all. The one and only ingredient in this is organic raw honey. Personally, I think the reference just indicates the typical light "butterscotchy" taste that most true honey has.

the company is honeytree at Onstead, Mi. It doesn't say it is raw. It is very good.

I'm a small scale beekeeper who is responding to the folks below who think liquid honey is not pure or it has been heated. They are incorrect. The purest form of honey is liquid. Honey must be processed (crystallized/creamed) to be solid like this product. If you know what comb honey looks like that is what honey looks like in the hive. If not, google it. Find a beekeeper in your neighborhood and buy from them. Unless you are in a heavy agricultural area with high pesticide use, you can skip organic (usually foreign honey anyway). Most bees forage in tall trees (maple, linden, locust, beech, tulip poplar, etc).

It says it's a 100% pure U.S. honey. It's distributed by a Colorado company, but it doesn't seem to claim to be a Colorado honey.

I actually didn't know that. I'm new to the essential oils. I under the impression that this was a pure, unprocessed essential oils, so I would be disappointed if it was processed. If you learn anything, please let me know. -thank you

Yes, it is completely raw honey. You can place the container in warm water to loosen it up a bit.

I'm sorry, but I don't know. I know its unheated, unprocessed,Kosher, & the hives are kept in unsprayed fields, & its has wonderful flavor. I've used it in all kinds of baking, especially whole wheat bread, it's also great in tea.

it doesn't say raw specifically on the container. it says "unrefined" and cold-pressed"

Hey there! Well firstly, the company is pretty well known by people around the world for the quality of their product. Secondly, the honey is going to be a much darker and thicker. It'll taste a lot different compared to the usual honey somebody can buy off the store, and it is somewhat "gritty". I really like it, and it will be pretty obvious to tell the difference between the two once you receive it!

Only raw unstrained honey is really kosher. No honey that is without the wax should ever be considered Kosher.

"Raw" is not listed anywhere but the honey is very good, with no additives. I'm very pleased with it.

No, it does not say raw on the bottle. But, my understanding is - organic means pure, unadulterated - that is, not filtered. One honey I buy at HEB says raw but it is not organic. But this is a good company - they may explain the terms for you since some are used with different definitions.

Check out their website for answers! I only purchased at a good price and as long as it is not from China I'm happy. It was very good honey! Just because I purchased this item via Amazon does not make me an expert on the honey. Read the labels on the site. :)

Unheated honey is cloudy as soon as it is extracted. This cloudiness gradually increases day-by-day as the honey thickens, and ultimately raw honey becomes hard, or crystallized.Do not worry, the honey is not ruined, it`s not old. Because honey is super saturated, one of the sugars in it losses water and takes the form of a crystal.You can put jar in warm water to dissolve the crystals, do not heat it,do not kill all the benefits !I use a big spoon to get the honey ;the raw honey and hot green tea make my body and soul happy and healthy!!!!

I don't think it's raw...it's definitely been pasturized or strained as there are no bits of honeycomb etc floating in it
