250g Wendell Estate Unpasteurized Raw Honey
$25.00
Unpasteurized Raw Honey
250g (8.8 oz) fresh, soft-set raw honey from clover, alfalfa and other Northern prairie flowers. As beekeepers first, we sell the majority of our honey in bulk at premium prices to other honey packagers. We reserve our best honey for our Wendell Estate Honey jars. Unlike almost any other honey you’ll find on store shelves, including other “raw honeys”, our unpasteurized raw honey never sees the inside of a bulk drum: it goes directly to our canning line after being spun from the honeycombs, usually the day after it’s harvested from our beehives. This is important for two reasons: One is that raw honey deteriorates in flavour and health benefits with age at ambient temperatures. The other is that getting honey from a bulk drum to a retail package almost invariably requires heating the honey, no matter what the label says.
Taste the Freshness
We spare no effort or expense in getting the honey from the beehive to the jar in its most naturally luxurious state. From the striking white colour, to the delicate floral aromas, to the unparalleled smooth texture and complex, subtle flavours, our honey is a treat for the senses. We strain out larger pieces of wax, but otherwise leave the honey as natural and fresh as can be, with all the health benefits of unpasteurized raw honey intact and undiminished. What the manuka marketers don’t want you to know is that any raw honey has similar health benefits to raw manuka honey if you’re eating the honey. If you are looking for medical grade, heat-sterilized wound dressings, do splurge for manuka. Otherwise, try any real, raw honey from your local beekeeper. Or have ours delivered right to your door for a luxurious treat that’s also good for you.
Why choose our 250g (8.8oz) jar of Unpasteurized Raw Honey?

250g (8.8oz) Unpasteurized Raw Honey FAQ
Mainly just the amount of honey in the jar. Like every jar we package, each 250g (8.8oz) jar of Wendell Estate Honey raw unfiltered honey contains the finest honey our bees produce in the season. We don’t process, blend or batch the honey. We simply spin it from the honeycombs, strain out larger pieces of wax and package it directly into the jar, typically within a day of harvesting from the beehives. Somebody with very acute senses of taste and smell may notice minor differences between any 2 jars of Wendell Estate Honey since honey packaged on each day comes from a different apiary. However, we assure you that each jar of raw unfiltered honey meets our highest quality standards.
250 grams, or 8.8 ounces is 12 one-tablespoon (21g) servings of raw unfiltered honey. It’s enough to find out if you enjoy our honey as much as we do. It’s also a good size if you eat honey only as an occasional treat.
There are almost countless ways to enjoy honey. Sweetening tea and other drinks being one of the most common. Our raw unpasteurized honey is especially suited for spreading on toast, eating with cheese or fruits like apples, or along with unsweetened chocolate. Tim likes to eat it straight off the spoon. My grandmother used to add raw unpasteurized honey to canned garden tomatoes (much more delicious than it sounds!). Honey can replace sugar as a healthy option in baking or sweetening almost any food or drink. You can see more ways to enjoy raw unpasteurized honey on our recipes page.
One of the unique properties of raw honey is its remarkable resistance to spoilage at ambient temperatures. However, raw unpasteurized honey will maintain its complex flavor profile and health benefits longer if stored cold for long term (greater than 2-3 months) storage. Soft-set honey like ours does get quite hard at cold temperatures, so we recommend keeping an amount that you will consume in less than about three months at room temperature. We have a detailed storage explanation here.

Wendell Estate Honey
March 28, 2024Thank you for taking the time to post your thoughts on our honey. We do appreciate any feedback that we get. Based on your comments, I am assuming that your 5-star ranking was accidental. Feel free to revise that if you like. We’re sorry that our honey wasn’t for you. Since we are both the beekeepers and the packagers of our honey as it comes off our extaction line, we can guarantee you that Wendell Estate Honey has absolutely nothing added to it (details here https://wendellestate.ca/about/ and here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4SsaAjnGaqw). It is a common misconception that a test for honey authenticity is whether it dissolves in water or the speed at which it dissolves. This is inaccurate. Real raw honey is highly hydroscopic (readily absorbing water from the atmosphere – details here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honey#Hygroscopy_and_fermentation) and also dissolves in water either left alone or if stirred. For both the London International Honey Awards and the World Beekeeping Awards, entrants are tested by independent, internationally recognized labs for authenticity and adulteration. Wendell Estate Honey was not only not disqualified from these competitions (Fully 46% of honey entrants to the 2019 World Beekeeping Awards were disqualified due to adulteration or contamination of the honey), but our honey was awarded the highest honor – we won the soft set honey category, receiving the gold medal in the world’s most prestigious and legitimate honey quality awards. As we export honey both in bulk and as our retail WEH brand, our honey is frequently tested by internationally recognized 3rd party laboratories, and each time the results prove what we already know: our honey is fresh, raw honey from prairie blossoms with absolutely nothing added (and no antibiotic, hormones, heavy metals, etc contamination).
Since you didn’t purchase Wendell Estate Honey directly from us (our database does not have any record of you buying directly from our estore), if you can let us know the retailer that you purchased your Wendell Estate Honey from, we’ll look into the possibility of inauthentic Wendell Estate Honey being sold. Please email us at info@wendellestate.ca or call 844-201-2829 with any information on the vendor. When you purchase directly from our estore we guarantee that you will receive the freshest, purest, rawest, cleanest honey found outside of a beehive.

I keep this honey on hand all year round. It is the perfect gift for friends. My family looks forward to their gift of honey to start the New Year. It is in a beautiful jar and is so tasty. The service from Wendell Estate is great and they respond immediately to all inquiries.

One of the sweetest things to have happened in 2020 was to have been introduced to Wendell Estate Honey. The only way I can think to describe this raw, natural honey is heaven on a spoon. And, if you happen to appreciate sophisticated packaging design, you will be delighted. The beautiful packaging serves as the perfect prelude to the natural goodness inside each jar. I just finished unpacking my 24 jars that we’re gifting to friends here in the United States so they too can experience this exceptional raw honey. Thank you to everyone and every bee at Wendell Estate!
