Lady was lovely, very helpful and informative to us. Will definitely return.
Buy local honey from your local beekeeper! I will never buy this again. Tasted disgusting with a metallic aftertaste, I know why - the "honey" arrives in metal drums from around the world. The staff were rude and condescending. I just think the name and label is very misleading towards people in the area. Looking at other reviews im going to get a rude admin reply 🙃 instead they should listen to feedback.
I agree with previous posts, this honey is NOT real honey, it is a syrup, sugar mix, we have carefully analysed it, however it is cheap so folk if you want to by it then that is fine.Not one of their jars of honey is honey.
I have studied beekeeping and kept bees for over 10 years when I lived in the South West of Hungary. On the sands there, we have hundreds of acres of acacia forests and they flower on the 20th May almost on the dot every year so it's easy enough for the beekeeper to move the hives near the woods on time for production. Acacia flower is so rich in nectar that the bees will not forage from any other flowers this time so thats why I could extract pure acacia honey. When you open the hive and smell and taste the fresh summer acacia honey, you will never forget it! When I opened your jar of acacia honey I felt ashamed, for you! Its a mildly flavoured sugar syrup you are selling in the name of 'pure acacia honey'! You either feed your bees sugar whilst they are foraging or you add a significant amount of sugar syrup to your honey afterwards! You are a disgrace and I will report you to the NFCC organic food federation because they cannot have authorised this! Frankly I am disgusted!
Rebuilding the food system, from the farm up
Superior quality honey great flavour lovely for breakfast on natural yogurt.
Bought for the first time it was nice until i bought it the second time and it had a metalic taste. Also i read elsewhere that their honey is from different sources from the eu but product packaging and the namr clearly tries to depict it is english honey from a local organic source. What nonsense this is why i am happily leaving this negative review i cant stand liars, and honey should not taste metallic.
Initially I was a bit thrown off receiving a clear honey as usually when purchasing raw this would always arrive pretty much set. I gave it a week or so and it started crystallising/setting however, so I guess all is good. Tastes lovely, kids like it. I’m thinking of making it into a mead as well: )
I’m not sure why people have posted negative comments. I understand it’s difficult to verify purity when there is multiple source locations, and I’m not sure if this honey has “ “Chinese” honey in it, however I’ve been using this honey for years and I trust what they say that it is raw and traceable. Organic honey is a treat when every part of our food chain is poisoned with harmful pesticides. I rate this honey and my kids do. I honestly don’t believe it has syrup blended within it but I may be wrong. Thanks again for supplying us with good quality honey at a reasonable price 👌🏼
Deserves zeros points. Walked in for first time today. Lady on the counter had a snotty attitude when I asked the difference between different honey. "Well they taste different" that was her answer on every question. That should have been5a red flag. She only once gave me a decent answer about honey from New Zealand. Anyway, bought it home and tasted it. Syrupy with the unmistakable processed sugar bitter aftertaste. Then had my wife try it whos mom had her own honey farm. "This definitely is not honey ' she said. Look at the other reviews. They always try and make the customer feel like an idiot by responding that irs a matter of taste or something, imploring that the honey is 100 percent pure without any evidence. There are dozens of empty barrels outside the shop area so it's definitely imported from somewhere (prabably China). So save your money and don't get burnt like me. Managed to get 1 jar refunded but the other was open so it's a loss as you cannot return open jar even if it is fake. Avoid at all costs.
