Healthiest Honey

What Is the Healthiest Honey?

Without a doubt, the healthiest honey is raw honey, which is unprocessed, unpasteurised, and comes directly from the hive. Most commercial honey available in supermarkets has been heated and filtered, which can strip away many of its natural enzymes, antioxidants, vitamins, and beneficial compounds that make it a superfood.

Raw honey is rich in powerful antioxidants, such as flavonoids and polyphenols, which support the immune system and reduce inflammation—benefits that are often lost during pasteurisation. Because it is unfiltered, raw honey also retains its natural content of bee pollen, propolis, and royal jelly—elements that enhance honey's antibacterial and healing properties.

Our raw honey comes from Váraljai's Honey Farm, a family-run apiary located in the pristine Hungarian Great Plains. László, our award-winning beekeeper, sustainably harvests the honey using traditional methods that respect nature.

For those seeking the best at all times, organic honey offers even greater health benefits. Organic certification ensures that bees forage in pesticide-free environments, resulting in honey free of synthetic chemicals and contaminants.

Our organic honey is sourced from the Transylvanian mountains, a rugged, untouched landscape ideal for collecting the finest, clean honey, all fully traceable from farm to table.

Which is the Healthiest Honey Variety?

All honey varieties are inherently healthy, and while they share many beneficial properties, there are some minor differences among them.

Among the various types of honey, acacia honey stands out as one of the healthiest choices. Known for its light, delicate flavour, it has a high fructose-to-glucose ratio, which gives it a lower glycemic index. This makes it a preferable option for those monitoring their blood sugar levels. Acacia honey is prized for its high antioxidant content and anti-inflammatory properties, making it a popular natural remedy for colds and sore throats.

Another excellent option is fresh honeycomb, which represents honey in its purest, most natural form. Honeycomb includes not only raw honey but also beeswax, which is rich in long-chain fatty acids and alcohols that may support heart health and reduce inflammation.

Other options include manuka honey, renowned for its potent antibacterial properties, and honeydew honey, a rare variety rich in vitamins and minerals.
