The Raw Sicilian Honey
London has been quietly importing for itself.
Cold-extracted from apiaries in Caltanissetta, central Sicily, at 600–900m altitude — where the bees forage across wildflower meadows of sulla, wild thyme, citrus blossom and lavender. Never heated above 35°C. Never ultra-filtered. The pollen, the enzymes, the wax traces — all of it stays in the jar. That is what "raw" actually means.
Choose the honey
that fits your kitchen.
All three come from apiaries in Caltanissetta, central Sicily. All three are raw — never heated, never ultra-filtered. The difference is in the bees, the flowers, and the way you intend to enjoy it.
The Multifloral 200g is our everyday breakfast jar. The Bundle pairs it with our EVOO. The Sulla 200g is the rare single-blossom honey — drier, deeper, ideal for cheese boards.
Where the wildflowers grow,
the honey writes itself.
Our honey comes from apiaries in Caltanissetta, central Sicily, at 600–900m altitude, where the bees forage across wildflower meadows of sulla, wild thyme, citrus blossom, lavender and oregano — wherever the land turns to flower across the seasons. We don't blend across regions or years. We don't heat, ultra-filter or pasteurise. What lands in the jar is what the bees brought back, with all of it — pollen, enzymes, wax traces — left intact.
Seven differences that separate
real honey from the squeeze bottle.
Most "honey" on a supermarket shelf has been heated to 70°C+, ultra-filtered until the pollen is gone, blended across countries, and engineered to never crystallise. That last point is the giveaway.

Raw honey isn't just
for spreading on toast.
A spoonful is a breakfast tonic. A drizzle is a cheese-board upgrade. A dollop is a baking ingredient that beats sugar. The only rule with raw honey: do not heat it above 40°C or you destroy the enzymes.
The pairing that built Sicilian feast tables.
Drizzle raw Sulla or wildflower honey over aged pecorino, gorgonzola dolce, or a sharp Sicilian provola. The sweetness softens the salt of the cheese without overpowering it. Add toasted walnuts and a small glass of Marsala for full Sicilian effect.
Pairing tip: pair with a drizzle of our Biancolilla EVOO from the Mediterranean Essentials bundle — honey + oil + cheese is the Sicilian trinity.
The breakfast bowl that makes everything else look sad.
Two heaped spoons of full-fat Greek yogurt. One spoonful of raw honey drizzled on top. A handful of toasted walnuts, fresh figs or pomegranate. Done in 60 seconds. Eaten daily in southern Italy and Greece.
The British and the Italians agree on this one.
Hot water (under 60°C to preserve the enzymes), a generous spoonful of raw honey, a fat squeeze of fresh lemon, a slice of fresh ginger if you have it. The classic remedy.
Never add raw honey to boiling water — it destroys the enzymes. Let the tea cool for a minute before stirring it in.
The oven-finish that elevates any roast.
Mix raw honey with mustard, lemon juice, a splash of EVOO and flaky salt. Brush onto chicken, lamb, root vegetables or salmon in the last 10 minutes of roasting.
Replace sugar in cakes and watch them improve.
Raw honey adds moisture, depth and a slight floral note that refined sugar cannot. Works particularly well in olive oil cakes, gingerbread, pound cakes and yeasted doughs. Reduce other liquid by roughly 1 tbsp per 1/4 cup honey, and lower the oven by about 10°C.
