How our honey is made

Where our honey comes from

We buy honey in bulk from honey farms. Then we process it, bottle it and label it ourselves, at our own processing unit.

Processed honey

Processed honey, in nine steps

Our Royal Honey natural honey, and the honey in all our blends, goes through these steps. Follow the honey down the line.

1. Receive honey from the farms

   Raw honey arrives in bulk from the honey farms we buy from.

2. Warm it gently

   Gentle warming lets the honey flow and melts any honey that has gone solid.

3. Strain

   Straining takes out wax and bits of comb.

4. Filter

   A finer filter takes out the small particles left after straining.

5. Reduce moisture

   Too much water makes honey ferment, so extra moisture is taken out.

6. Pasteurise

   Pasteurising slows fermentation and delays the honey going solid.

7. Cool

   The honey is cooled before it goes into bottles.

8. Bottle

   We fill glass and PET bottles and jars, from 50 g to 1 kg.

9. Label

   Each label carries the net weight, our name and address, and our FSSAI details.

Raw honey · not heated or processed

Raw honey, bottled as it comes

Our three forest honeys (the white Wild Forest Honey, the yellow Forest Honey and the black Forest Honey കാട്ടുതേൻ) and our cheruthen are sold raw. We don’t heat or filter them.

Raw honey can go solid sooner than processed honey. That’s natural, and it isn’t a sign of fake honey.

Raw honey goes from the comb straight into the jar, skipping the heating and filtering machines.
