British Honey FAQ
What is British honey?
British honey is honey produced by bees that forage from flowers across the United Kingdom. At Numidia Kingdom, our honey comes from natural British floral sources and is carefully extracted to preserve flavour, aroma, and natural enzymes.
Is your honey raw?
Yes. Our honey is raw and minimally processed. We avoid excessive heating or ultra-filtration so the honey keeps its natural enzymes, pollen traces, and antioxidants.
Why does raw honey crystallise?
Crystallisation is a natural process in authentic honey. Pure honey often becomes firm over time due to its natural glucose content. This is a sign of purity, not spoilage.
If you prefer liquid honey, gently warm the jar in warm water.
Is British honey better than imported honey?
Many customers prefer British honey because it offers freshness, traceability, and diverse local floral sources. Imported honey can vary widely in quality depending on origin and processing.
How much does British honey cost in the UK?
The price of British honey varies depending on floral source, harvest conditions, and packaging. Premium British honey typically ranges between £8 and £15 per 500g jar.
