What the Heck is Kitako Lake Raw Honey?

Our honey is heated only gently to assist in the bottling process. It is never pasteurized ( heated at high temperatures to kill bacteria, yeasts and microbes) and never fine filtered. That means our Raw Honey maintains it’s natural health benefits and is uncompromised in it’s quality.
Sometimes Kitako Lake Honey is Liquid, sometimes it’s solid, and sometimes it’s in between! why is that?h

The process of honey solidifying is usually called ” Crystallization”, and occurs naturally in all honeys. This is due to the natural glucose in honey turning to crystals over time. Different varieties of honey crystallize differently, and you will find honey on the shelf that is in various stages of this process! Don’t worry about your honey crystallizing. In fact, it’s one of the signs that your Kitako Lake Honey is a Raw and natural product.

But I want Liquid Honey, and there is only crystallized stuff on the shelf!

Give it a bath, my friend! Putting your jar of crystallized honey into a pot of warm or hot (not boiling) water will eventually re-liquefy your honey, all while keeping the natural and desirable benefits of Raw Honey intact.
