Interesting.

On the one hand, just calling it "organic" (which they do), can raise
the price by differentiating the honey from the "other" honey.

But, I wonder if raw honey stores any better than filtered honey.

They're both of very high osmotic pressure, which is mostly what keeps
the bacteria and mold at bay.
