Nate's Raw & Unfiltered Honey

The orange-labelled bottle of Raw & Unfiltered Honey is where Nate's Honey started, and the American brand still calls it the original. Inside is a mix of several honey varietals, put together with taste as the main goal. Nate's describes its raw processing in plain terms: the honey is heated just a little so it flows from the bottle, it never goes through pasteurization, and no filter takes out the pollen. Apart from honey, the bottle holds no additives or preservatives, and the brand tests each batch for purity. Four bottle sizes are sold, from a small 12 oz up to 44 oz. Suggested uses include coffee, tea, oatmeal, yogurt and baked goods.

Why this matters to you: if you want unpasteurized honey in an easy bottle for everyday drinks, this is the base item of the whole Nate's range.
