FAQs

Ulmo honey is a rare and premium monofloral honey derived from the nectar of the Ulmo tree (Eucryphia cordifolia), which is native to the temperate rainforests of Chile. Known for its distinctive floral taste and creamy texture, Ulmo honey is celebrated for its high antibacterial properties and exceptional health benefits.

Ulmo honey stands out due to its high concentration of natural bioactive compounds, such as polyphenols and hydrogen peroxide, which contribute to its potent antibacterial and antioxidant properties. It is also sourced from pristine, pollution-free environments, ensuring its purity and quality.

Yes, our Ulmo honey is raw, meaning it is minimally processed to retain its natural nutrients and enzymes.

Because honey is considered a wildcrafted ingredient, and honeybees forage as far as 8 miles from their hives organic certification of honey is not possible in the US. Most people don't know that as of 2021, honey cannot be certified organic by the USDA. Any organic honey sold in the United States is imported from other countries and certified organic by that country. The imported organic honey is not certified Organic by the United States

A type of honey primarily derived from the nectar of a single species of flower. Beekeepers produce monofloral honey by situating hives in areas with an abundant source of a specific flowering plant, giving the bees access primarily to one type of nectar. The single flower must be dominant at a minimum of 45% concentration to be considered monofloral.

Ulmo honey is known for its antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties. It can support wound healing, improve digestion, boost immunity, and provide energy. Additionally, its unique composition may help combat antibiotic-resistant bacteria.

Ulmo honey can be enjoyed in various ways:

• A spoonful straight from the jar (what we recommend)
• As a natural sweetener in tea, coffee, or smoothies
• Drizzled over yogurt, toast, or fruit
• In recipes for baked goods or salad dressings
• Applied topically for minor cuts or burns to promote healing

We work closely with a trusted beekeeper in Chile who follows sustainable and ethical harvesting practices. Each batch is tested for purity, authenticity, and bioactivity to ensure it meets the highest standards.

Miron glass, also known as violet glass, is a high-quality, biophotonic glass designed to protect and preserve the contents stored inside. Unlike regular clear or amber glass, Miron glass blocks the harmful spectrum of visible light while allowing certain beneficial wavelengths to pass through, such as violet, ultraviolet (UV), and infrared (IR) light.
This protects the bioactive components of our precious monofloral Ulmo honey, keeping it hive fresh for longer.

Some brands chose to seal their jars with an adhesive seal that often does not come off clean and leaves glue residue around the edges of the jar, residue that might fall in the honey and contaminate it. Instead, our jar is sealed on the outside with a safety band and comes with a high-quality food grade built-in seal, ensuring air-tightness.

Ulmo honey is safe for children over the age of one. However, it should not be given to infants under 12 months due to the risk of botulism, as is the case with all types of honey.

Natural honey can vary in color and texture due to factors like the season, nectar source, and harvesting conditions. These variations are a hallmark of genuine, unprocessed honey.

Yes, although our honey is creamed to prevent it, Ulmo honey may crystallize over time due to its natural sugars. This is a normal process and does not affect its quality. To restore its smooth texture, place the jar in warm water and stir until the crystals dissolve.

Store Ulmo honey in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Do not refrigerate, as honey is naturally long-lasting and resistant to spoilage.

While honey, in general, may help alleviate allergy symptoms through gradual exposure to pollen, our Ulmo honey is monofloral and may not contain the local pollen necessary for this effect. Its anti-inflammatory properties, however, may still provide some relief.

You can purchase Ulmo honey directly through our website or our Amazon store.

As of now we only ship within the United States. If you have questions do not hesitate to contact us.

Individuals with severe pollen or bee allergies should consult a doctor before consuming honey.
