Product FAQs

Ontario Honey Creations' honey is 100% raw & unpasteurized. We do not filter our honey, so small amounts of pollen may still be present. If you would like to see our honey harvesting process up close, visit us for a Bottle Your Own Honey experience.

Terroir is a term, commonly used to describe wine, which refers to the topography, climate, and region, which affect the flavours of the final product. In regards to honey, the temperature, rainfall, land usage, and local flora all contribute to the taste, colour, and aroma of the honey. We harvest our honey by region and season, never mixing harvests, to highlight the unique flavour.

All of our honey comes from our own hives and our own bees. We do not import or buy honey from other beekeepers. This means that we may sell out of certain varieties, but don't worry, we will have more next season.

Raw or unpasteurized honey means that the harvest is left naturally, just as it exists within the honeybee hive, with all its natural enzymes, pollens, and aromas. We leave the honey as is, only straining the product directly before bottling it to remove beeswax.  

Pasteurized honey is heated at high temperatures, which helps it maintain its liquid form. However, the process of pasteurization destroys the beneficial enzymes. We do not pasteurize any of our honey.

If stored properly, raw honey never expires. Store your honey in an air-tight container away from direct sunlight. Avoid contaminating your honey by using a clean utensil each time.

Yes, all raw honey will crystalize. The speed of crystalization will differ based on the nectar sources in the honey. Crystalized honey is safe to eat and many people prefer it. To return crystallized honey to its liquid form, place the sealed jar in a warm water bath.

Typically, the Spring Blossom honey is more mild and delicate in flavour due to the different flowers in bloom throughout the Spring. Summer months bring more of the traditional honey taste of richness and sweetness. Fall Blossom (Sarah’s personal favourite!) has stronger flavour notes with more prominent floral aromas. We notice that our Fall Blossom honey tends to crystallize slightly faster in comparison with other varietals, due to their nectar source being mainly goldenrod flowers.

Honey Favours
