Honey
Pacifica is proud to produce various raw honeys ourselves,
ensuring a gourmet level of quality and integrity. As always our honey is
raw and unfiltered. We drive the bees to various locations throughout
California directly to the floral sources. The flavors of this
raw honey depend on what flowers are blooming with nectar at the
time the bees are there. In order to maintain the highest level
of taste and nutrition in our raw unfiltered honey, we never heat
our honey to more than 100°; just enough to get it into the
jar. Beware of USDA “Grade A labels”. It simply means
the honey has been heated and filtered to be considered processed
enough for a label. Larger companies have been known to heat their
honey up to 140° while filtering it thoroughly. While this
qualifies them for “Grade A” labels, it also hurts
the quality of their honey. Label or not, our raw unfiltered honey
is the best.
Note:
Our Raw Unfiltered Honeys (with the exception of Sage) will crystallize
slowly over time. If the honey starts to crystallize(noted by white
appearance) simply put the jar in a pot of warm water for a few
hours. The honey will return to its normal state, good as new, and
will last another couple of months before crystallization. Honey
is water resistant so it never goes bad. They even found it in the
Egyptian tombs.
