To prepare honey for market, we liquefy the drums in a water bath and pass it through a strainer to remove large impurities such as chunks of wax, then into a bulk tank where it settles overnight to allow tiny air bubbles, which promote crystallization, to float off. We then gravity-feed the honey to the filler. Many of the large honey packers heat the honey to 160 degree F or more in order to pump it through a micropore filter. You have only to sample some generic honey to appreciate the vast difference from honey that has been warmed and strained only. | | | Features: | |
• Pack of four, 23-ounce each(total of 94-ounce)

 Good raw unfiltered honey at a good price.Sep 10, 2010
By Jim
The price was good when I bought the honey from Amazon, and was even better because I chose to take advantage of Amazon's Subscribe & Save offer. (I've used it in the past and never had a problem canceling or changing a scheduled order, and therefore I never received an order I didn't need or want. Amazon sends an email before shipping an item you've subscribed to, giving you a chance to cancel or postpone it.)
It's hard for me to find raw, unfiltered honey that is 100% a product of the US in local markets at anything close to what I'd consider a reasonable price (and that's if and when they have such honey in stock at all). I've tried a different brand of raw, unfiltered, produced in the US honey from Amazon, and while I like it and may buy it again in the future (e.g., for the sake of variety), I like the Ambrosia Honey better. I operated natural food stores in CA in the late 70's and early 80's, and the smell and taste of Ambrosia Honey reminds me of some of the good, pure honey we sold in bulk back then.
The shipment of a 4-pack of 23 ounce plastic bottles (as pictured) arrived without any leaks or stickiness on the bottles at all, and I appreciate that each bottle has a pour-type cap (you just have to snip or cut the top of the spout off to the diameter you want), as opposed to honey containers that you have to use a spoon or honey dipper with. There are nice, simple instructions on the label about how to reliquify the Ambrosia Honey if and when necessary.
I think anyone who appreciates really good quality pure, unfiltered honey will like this honey.

Best HoneyApr 15, 2009
By Goofball
The taste can't even compare to what is in the stores as common brands, this product has just a great and clean taste which really worth trying. With all the problems with bees these days this product is a sure winner and a good value considering the quality. We have been buying for over five years without a problem once...

 Honey taste is wonderful, packaging leaves me dripping.Jul 26, 2010
By Samantha L. Maynard
"Crazy Diamond"
The honey is five stars if you enjoy a lighter-colored honey with a light to medium bodied taste. This is near the middle, tending toward light. Excellent consistency, good flow, no trouble with crystallization. Unfortunately, the twist-on cap of two of my four bottles came loose and dripped while in transit. It was a small amount, nothing to return the package over. However, I notice that even after tightening the cap, putting pressure on the bottle to squeeze the honey has created drip. This honey is quite sticky on the hands. If you have another container to place it in, I would recommend using that if it has a tried-and-true lid on it. The plastic of these bottles is very, very pliable, which can make it difficult to get honey out when the level reaches about a quarter full.
In all, I think I will continue to buy this product, but I will most likely salvage some other honey bottles to use with it instead to combat the drip and pressure problem.

Great Tasting Honey...Dec 30, 2009
By French Lavender
Colorado honey is mild and not too sweet. It's smooth and has a great mellow flavor. I eat it on toast, waffles, and use for sweetening coffee and tea. I'll never go back to supermarket honey. This is a great gift idea too. It's something different and everyone loves the taste.

Excellent mellow flavorDec 25, 2009
By J. Ransome
This honey has an exceptional flavor. It's very sooth, as well as a beautiful amber hue. The flavor resembles the common Clover Honey. It's great in teas because it has a subtle honey flavor, which doesn't hinder the flavor of the tea. I would highly recommend it if you are someone that is looking for a mellow, yet still flavorful honey.
