Our Honey
Our bees collect nectar and pollen from a variety of flowers and trees within a two mile radius of Frimley. Sometimes called raw honey, our honey is cold extracted, filtered and unpasteurised so that it retains all of the enzymes, pollen and antiseptic properties that are present when the honey is extracted from the hive.
It is extracted in small batches and each jar can be traced back to the specific hive and date of extraction. Each batch will vary slightly in colour, taste and smell, due to the changing seasons and flowers the bees are feeding on.
Our summer honey was professionally analysed and included pollen from 20 different sources, including lime, chestnut, privet, bramble, forget-me-not, balsam, tree of heaven, bellflower, lavender and green alkanet.
It should not be confused with the ‘blended’ honeys found in most supermarkets, which are usually heat treated, affecting the honey’s nutritional properties and flavour. Most commercial honeys also undergo ultra filtration to create a refined, liquid product that is seen as more appealing to shoppers.
Loen Honey has nothing added and nothing removed, it is just pure honey, straight from the hive.
My extraction process has been awarded a 5 star FSA rating.
