Raw White Himalayan Honey
This is a rare, single-origin honey harvested from wild beehives in the Himalayan Mountains. It is USDA Organic and Fair Trade, ensuring that the honey is free from agricultural runoff and that the wild harvesters are paid fairly.
Quality & Materials
Raw, wild-harvested honey from the nectar of wildflowers in the Himalayan forest. It has a unique creamy, white consistency and a mild floral flavor.
Evidence & Testing
USDA Organic certification ensures no synthetic chemicals were used in processing, though specific clinical testing on Himalayan varieties is less common than Manuka.
Brand Transparency
Strong social mission with Fair Trade certification. Sourcing is specific to the Himalayan region of India.
Value Assessment
Slightly more expensive than domestic honey but offers a unique flavor profile and the highest level of organic purity available.
Why Not Alternatives?
Most 'organic' honeys are still produced in areas where bees may forage on non-organic farms. Because these hives are wild in the high Himalayas, the risk of pesticide exposure is virtually zero compared to farm-based apiaries.
