What is Creamed Honey

If you are a honey addict, like us, you probably know that it comes in a variety of different forms. Typically, grocery stores carry pasteurized honey that has been processed. When honey is processed it removes the natural yeast and a lot of the beneficial enzymes and gives it the transparent color seen on most shelves. But, at Fat Head Farms, our honey is raw and pure, straight from the hive. It is never heated or pasteurized, so it is packed with flavor and mother nature’s benefits. However, if you visit our shop page, you’ll see that we also have a wide variety of creamed honey options. So, what’s the difference between our creamed version and our raw honey?

Straight From the Hive

Pretend that you saw a beehive, said hello to the bees, walked up, opened up the hive, and collected the honey. That is essentially what raw honey is. However, we don’t recommend that you do this! That is why we are here. The bees won’t be too happy to have guests and you might get stung. So, just leave the honey collecting to the team at Fat Head Honey!

After the honey is collected, we go through a small process to ensure the raw honey that you receive has no imperfections and is the top quality around. It is then bottled in our bottling house, which is a renovated farmhouse on the bee-farm property. The honey is hand-bottled and sealed with love to be shipped off to happy customers like you!

Creamed Goodness - in all your favorite flavors

After the team at Fat Head Honey has collected and strained raw honey from the hive, some of it is put into a honey creamer. A honey creamer is essentially a big tank with an auger that spins liquid honey periodically over a few days. Honey naturally wants to crystallize in the tank but by stirring it we interfere with the crystallization process. This allows us to control the size of the crystals. The smaller the crystal, the smoother and creamier the honey. Creamed honey has a smooth, sumptuous texture that is perfect as a spread but preserves the goodness of raw honey.
