Just bought a quart of honey that is dark and tastes of caramelized goodness. Claims it is raw and unfiltered. This means it's not pasteurized, true? What would make a honey dark? Thanks
One way to tell if it has not been heated or filtered is if there are bits of wax in it. If there are no bits of wax, it definitely has been filtered. If it has been filtered, it may also have been heated.Elk,

I call it lying.
That is one thing I noticed. This jar is extremely clean. The unfiltered honey I last had had wax and bee parts in it. This is why I am questioning what I have. Definitely doesn't taste "raw and unfiltered".One way to tell if it has not been heated or filtered is if there are bits of wax in it. If there are no bits of wax, it definitely has been filtered.

If it wasn't 4x as expensive as the local honey, I might keep it in the cabinet for a change. The local honey is golden and delicately flavored.

I laugh every time I see a package of meat with "gluten free" on the package.
Looks like the dummy needs a coffee.
