Getting the best raw honey, raw bee pollen, and organic bees wax to people. We're about pure honey from pure wild places and supporting small scale beekeepers who care about their bees and don't give them antibiotics and other medicines that contaminate the honey and pollen. How did we start? By discovering an amazing honey that tasted completely unlike anything you can buy on the shelves of a sup

ermarket here. It was in a little shop on the border between France and Spain - in the Pyrenees. Later we met the enigmatic beekeeper behind the honey, Tio Ramon. Tio Ramon loves his bees and is committed to pure raw honey from bees in some of the wildest parts of Spain. He lives on a patch of land with his family, where they grow all their own food. We started to bring this honey back from the Pyrenees in larger and larger quantities. When people tried it and said that they'd never tasted anything like it before we realised that there's a terrible shortage of proper raw honey in the UK and elsewhere. Now we have over 16 types of raw honey - from plants as varied as the Oak tree to the Fir tree or Wild Lavender to Orange Blossom. Each has a unique flavour and properties. Oak for instance is higher in minerals and amino acids than most honeys as well as higher molecular weight sugars (oligosaccharides) - this is good. Oligosaccharides are prebiotics that have a beneficial effect on bacteria in the digestive system. You can buy some of our honeys at http://www.therawhoneyshop.com/. Our original site pyreneeshoney.com also sells the raw honey from Tio Ramon. I am Tim Walker. My wife, Karen Puerta, and I set up the Raw Honey Shop (as Pyrenees Honey) in 2008. My wife died after a long illness. She wanted me to carry on with The Raw Honey Shop and that is what I am doing.

There’s a terrace carved into the side of a mountain in Asturias where Luisa’s family have kept their forest hives for generations.

It’s a special place, and one that has been part of The Raw Honey Shop story since the very beginning. Luisa’s Forest Honey was one of the first honeys we ever stocked back in 2010, and it remains one of our favourites to this day.

During a recent visit to Asturias, Tim returned to the hives just as the latest test results arrived. The findings confirmed what makes this honey so remarkable, an exceptionally high antibacterial activity, comparable to high-grade Manuka honey.

So what makes it so special?

🍯 Certified organic and completely raw.

🍯 Independently tested at Active 20.5.

🍯 Gathered from wild oak and chestnut forests in the mountains of northern Spain.

🍯 Deep, dark, rich and slow to crystallise.

But beyond the numbers, it’s the people behind it that make this honey truly special.

This is a family operation: Luisa, Olaya, Mario, Ines and 88-year-old Jacoba, who has relied on honey as a powerful natural medicine for most of her life.

Every jar carries a little piece of that family, that landscape and those forests.

“If the bee disappeared off the surface of the globe, then man would have only four years of life left. No more bees, no more pollination, no more plants, no more animals, no more man.”

Just arrived here at The Raw Honey Shop.

Our new season olive oil from Mount Olympus is here - and when it’s gone, it’s gone.

At the end of October, Tim and Claire travelled out to help with the harvest on Egli’s remote hillside grove. No modern roads. No neighbouring farms spraying chemicals. Just wild herbs underfoot, goats in the distance, and olive trees irrigated by a pure spring running off Olympus itself.

Her oil is certified organic and biodynamic - grown without herbicides or synthetic inputs. Unlike most growers, she doesn’t clear the wild plants beneath the trees (there’s strong evidence this natural competition boosts polyphenol levels). Everything is harvested by hand, no machines - and pressed the very same day to protect flavour and freshness.

The variety is Amphisis: a traditional Greek olive known for producing a beautifully balanced, rounded oil.

Unfiltered. Single harvest. Bottled in small batches.

After visiting the grove and seeing the care taken at every step, we secured her entire harvest for this year - exclusively for our customers.

Available now in:
• 500ml bottles
• 1 litre bottles
• Limited 3 litre tins

Watch the reel to see this extraordinary grove for yourself.

Our latest delivery from Greek beekeeper Thomas nearly didn’t happen…

Raw, organic and unfiltered Oak, Red Fir and Pine honey have just arrived - after being stuck for almost two months!

A farmers’ strike blocked the roads out of Karditsa, stopping all delivery trucks. No way in, no way out.

We’ve been out of these bestselling honeys for 6 weeks now! - but they’re back now in limited quantities. Shop from the link in our bio.

🍯 Here’s a video of the lovely Thomas reminding us what we mean when we say our honey is ‘unfiltered’.

The natural cough and throat soother people forget about…

This is active raw honey.

Harvested from remote oak and chestnut forests in Greece, this honey is independently lab tested at Active 28+, meaning it contains naturally occurring antibacterial compounds that help calm irritated throats and ease coughs.

Why it works:
🍯 Unpasteurised and unfiltered, so the enzymes remain intact.
🐝 Naturally thick and slow-flowing, coating the throat for longer relief.
🍯 High antioxidant and antibacterial activity.

Perfect taken by the spoon, especially in the evening, or stirred gently into warm (not hot) tea.

If you’re dealing with a scratchy throat or lingering cough this is nature’s original throat remedy - simple, effective, and time-tested.

Did you know that raw honey is naturally antibacterial?

Imagine a forest alive with bees, herbs… and even friendly wild pigs.

When Tim visited Kostas’ hives deep in the mountain forests of Mount Kissavos in central Greece, he found a landscape brimming with life. Towering Oak, Chestnut and Beech trees, wild herbs like Oregano and Trefoil - and a family of gentle wild pigs wandering freely through this protected haven.

From this extraordinary place comes Kostas’ Bioactive Forest Honey - lab tested as Active 25 - a powerful natural antibacterial honey, more potent than a premium Manuka and at a fraction of the price.

Rich and treacly, with earthy depth and wild herbal notes, it’s one to keep close this winter:

🍯 Soothe sore throats and coughs naturally
🐝Support your immune system

This is a seriously potent batch – and a Platinum winner at the London Honey Awards too!
