British Honey Questions
What is British honey?
British honey is honey produced by bees foraging in the United Kingdom. At Numidia Kingdom, our honey is harvested from British floral sources and carefully extracted to preserve natural enzymes and flavour.
Is your honey raw?
Yes. Our honey is raw and minimally processed. It is not heavily heated or ultra-filtered, helping to retain natural enzymes, pollen traces, and antioxidants.
Why does raw honey crystallise?
Crystallisation is a natural process. Pure honey often sets over time due to natural glucose content. This is a sign of authenticity — not spoilage.
To return it to liquid form, gently warm the jar in warm (not boiling) water.
Is British honey better than imported honey?
British honey is valued for freshness, traceability, and local floral diversity. Imported honey can vary widely in origin and processing methods.
Many customers prefer British honey for transparency and local support.
How much is British honey in the UK?
Prices vary depending on floral source, production costs, and supply. Premium British honey typically ranges between £8–£15 per 500g depending on quality and packaging.
🍯 Honey Vinegar UK Questions
What is honey vinegar?
Honey vinegar is a naturally fermented product made from honey and water. It goes through an alcohol fermentation stage followed by acetic fermentation, creating a mild, smooth vinegar.
Is your honey vinegar raw and unfiltered?
Yes. Our honey vinegar is raw, unfiltered, and contains the “mother” — beneficial natural cultures formed during fermentation.
How long does honey vinegar fermentation take?
Traditional fermentation can take several weeks depending on temperature, oxygen exposure, and sugar content.
Proper fermentation includes:
- Alcohol stage
- Acetic acid stage
- Maturation period
What is the acidity of honey vinegar?
Most honey vinegar products are around 4–6% acidity, similar to apple cider vinegar.
How can I use honey vinegar?

- Salad dressings
- Marinades
- Health drinks (diluted)

Always dilute before drinking.
