What is the difference between BeeMaid Creamed Honey and Raw Honey?
BeeMaid Creamed Honey and BeeMaid Raw Honey can look similar at first glance. Both have a smooth, creamy, spreadable texture that people love, and both are made from 100% Canadian honey sourced from our beekeeper-owners. However, there are a few key differences, beyond the packaging, that set them apart.
Canadian honey is graded based on colour, moisture, and filtration, and this grading system is not a quality measurement. BeeMaid Raw Honey meets Canada No. 1 standards for both colour and moisture, and is classified as Canada No. 3 for filtration. This is because Raw Honey is strained using a wider filtration process than our Creamed Honey, which is intended to keep it as close as possible to honey straight from our beekeepers’ hives. BeeMaid Creamed Honey is unpasteurized and goes through a different packing process to achieve its signature smooth, consistent texture.
Simply put, we offer both options so you can choose the honey that best suits your preference. If you’re a fan of our classic Creamed Honey in the green tubs, you’ll find BeeMaid Raw Honey very similar in overall taste, sweetness, and everyday use.
