DRIZZLE HONEY
What is Drizzle Honey?
Drizzle isn't your average honey company. Drizzle's mission is to transform honey from a simple sweetener into a functional, sustainable superfood while offering products that are both good for the consumer and the environment. Drizzle's Collections include curated craft and superfood flavors that are raw, sustainable, and healthy. Sourced from northern Canadian apiaries that prioritize bee health, Certified B Corp, and Kosher.
What kind of honey does Drizzle have?
Drizzle is raw, unpasteurized honey that has not been heated or filtered. This means it still contains healthy enzymes, vitamins, and minerals that come naturally from honey. We also offer our new Superfood Honeys, which are a delicious blend of our coveted Drizzle White Raw Honey plus a number of intentionally selected organic and premium ingredients.
What flowers are the honey sourced from?
White Honey: Clover, Thistle, and other wildflowers
Golden Honey: Wildflower, Dandelion, Hemp, Mint and Coriander
What is so good about raw honey?
Because raw honey has not been heated or filtered it still contains healthy enzymes, vitamins, and minerals. When honey is heated the enzymatic properties are destroyed and when honey is heavily filtered the pollen and beeswax are removed, which also removes many of the vitamins and minerals since pollen is rich in proteins, free amino acids, vitamins, and folic acid. About 76% of the honey on the market has been processed, heated, and/or filtered and we wanted to make sure ours was left raw, as nature intended.
Where is Drizzle honey sourced from?
When Drizzle was first started, the founder was an avid beekeeper in urban Calgary, and our honey came from backyards around the city. We now proudly source our honey from apiaries across Canada. In order to keep our honey completely raw, bee-friendly and selectively sourced we only support local farms and beekeepers, use honey from remote hives away from pesticides and/or those close to diverse floral sources (makes for healthier bees) and those which we know will produce the most luxurious, delicious raw honey available.
How do I correctly store raw honey?
You are welcome to keep your honey at room temperature in a cool dry place, such as your pantry, cupboards, or on the counter. There is no need to refrigerate honey as it will cause the honey to have an even thicker consistency. If you prefer runnier or thinner honey, give the jar a warm water bath. Please do not microwave the honey as that can reduce the nutritional value of raw honey.
Why is Drizzle honey thicker than other honeys I’ve tried?
The main reason our honey is creamy is due to the floral sources in our region. Alberta honey is known for its thicker consistency and white color. As an added benefit, our honey will not crystallize into larger honey grains in the jar which is a common trait of other honeys on the market.
How can I make my honey softer or have more drizzle?
Simply set the jar in a bowl of warm water or heat lightly your favorite way and it will soften easily. On a warm day in your house, it will even naturally soften.
