Yes! A slight change in color after opening your Bees & Berry flavored creamed honey is completely normal.
This happens because of a natural process called crystallization, where sugar molecules form tiny crystals. This can make the honey appear a bit lighter and more solid in texture.

For example:

• Raspberry Creamed Honey may take on a brighter pink tone because of the fruit’s natural color.
  
• Blueberry Creamed Honey may show small blue or purple flecks from the natural blueberry fruit pieces.

These changes are part of the natural process and show that your honey is pure and made with real fruit. 🍯✨

Raw honey is unprocessed and unpasteurized, which means it retains all its natural enzymes, antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, pollen, and propolis, making it nutrient-rich and full of health benefits. Pure honey, on the other hand, is free from additives or artificial ingredients but may be pasteurized or filtered, which can remove some of these beneficial compounds. In short, all raw honey is pure, but not all pure honey is raw, and raw honey offers the most natural nutrients and health advantages.

We were among the first companies to make flavored creamed honey, bringing a modern twist to a time-honored tradition. Our honey is made in Bulgaria, a country celebrated for its exceptional biodiversity. This unique environment produces an incredible variety of floral honeys, each bursting with natural flavors, nutrients, and medicinal qualities.

• Bulgaria’s temperate climate, clean mountain air, and unspoiled landscapes create the perfect conditions for producing pure, high-quality, raw, and natural honey. Every jar captures the essence of this pristine environment, offering a taste that’s truly one-of-a-kind.
• At Bees & Berry, we combine this rich heritage with creativity, infusing our honey with delicious, natural flavors while preserving its natural goodness. From drizzling over breakfast to adding a touch of sweetness to desserts, our flavored creamed honey brings a little piece of Bulgarian nature to your table.

Freeze-dried berry powder is made by using a process called lyophilization (or sublimation drying). Fresh berries like strawberries, raspberries and blueberries are first frozen, and then their water content is removed through sublimation—when ice changes directly into vapor without becoming liquid. This gentle method preserves much of the fruit’s natural goodness.

Key Benefits of Freeze-Dried Berries

Rich in Nutrients
Freeze-drying is one of the most effective ways to preserve valuable compounds like phytochemicals and vitamins. For example, freeze-dried strawberries maintain exceptionally high levels of vitamin C—about 47 grams per 100 grams of product, which is ten times more than apples or grapes.

Intense Flavor & Aroma
The process locks in the fresh, vibrant taste and natural aroma of berries.

Extended Shelf Life
With the water removed the product has a much longer shelf life. 

Color & Texture Preservation
Freeze-drying helps strawberries keep their natural color and structure.

Why It’s Better Than Concentrates

• Gentle Processing: Unlike concentrates, which are often made using heat, freeze-drying happens at low temperatures, preserving heat-sensitive nutrients.
  
• No Additives: Our freeze-dried berries contain no added sugar or preservatives.
  
• Packed with Antioxidants: This method is especially effective at retaining antioxidants like anthocyanins, flavonoids, and vitamin C.

Freeze-dried berries deliver all the nutrition, taste, and aroma of fresh berries in a concentrated, long-lasting form. With no added sugars or preservatives, it’s a natural, nutrient-rich alternative to concentrates and a versatile ingredient.

All of the ingredients we use are organic and NON GMO, but we are not yet certified!

Children must be at least 12 months (1 year) old before consuming honey. For children over one year, honey can be enjoyed safely in moderation. 

Creamed honey with cacao isn’t just a tasty treat—it’s a little powerhouse for your body! 🍯🍫 Cacao is loaded with antioxidants like flavonoids and polyphenols that protect your cells, support heart health, and improve blood flow. It also contains magnesium for strong muscles and bones, iron for energy, and a bit of caffeine to help you stay alert. Honey adds natural sugars for a quick energy boost, along with prebiotics that support gut health, antimicrobial compounds that help protect your body, and trace vitamins like B6 and C. Together, they provide anti-inflammatory benefits, help regulate blood pressure, support your immune system, and even lift your mood thanks to cacao’s feel-good compounds. Sweet, energizing, and nourishing—this combo is basically a treat that loves you back! ✨

Creamed honey with berries combines the health benefits of both honey and berries, making it a nutritious treat. Here’s why it’s good for you:

– Both honey and berries contain antioxidants (like flavonoids and phenolic compounds) that help combat oxidative stress and protect your cells.
– Honey’s antimicrobial properties and berries’ vitamins (especially vitamin C) can help strengthen the immune system.
– The natural compounds in honey and berries help reduce inflammation in the body.
– Honey provides natural sugars for quick energy, making it a healthier alternative to refined sugar.
– Honey has prebiotic properties that support gut health, while berries contribute fiber for better digestion.
– The combination may help improve cholesterol levels and support cardiovascular health due to their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects.

Honey's distinctive traits—high sugar content and natural acidity—act as powerful preservatives, enabling honey to endure for millennia, as timeless and enduring as pure gold.

Honey doesn’t truly expire or become unsafe to eat, even after many years. Its low water content and natural acidity prevent bacterial growth, giving it an exceptionally long shelf life. Over time, honey may darken, lose some aroma or flavor, or crystallize, but these changes are completely normal and do not mean it has spoiled.
