Default Why is raw honey from Costco twice as expensive as Filtered ?

Raw honey is filtered of course. It means unpasteurized. Like raw
milk(which is illegal to sell) I always use raw honey supplied by
bee keeper. THat is good choice. You may get stung if you eat real raw
out of bee hive B4 filtered.


My jar specifically says unfiltered.It has a slightly crystalline feel
and never has been pourable even in August heat. It will dissolve in hot
liquids and can be spread but no way is it going to work in a plastic
bear squeeze bottle.


I deal with two bee keepers one near the city one further out in the
farming area. As far as I know they run it thru something like coarse
cheese cloth to filter out pieces of bee hive, wing of bees like that.
Pure honey is very strong and depending on which flower nectar it is
coming, has different smell. Like buck wheat flower, wild flower, Acacia
flower, etc. We never use white sugar, some times brown raw sugar we use.
