Single-Origin Ulmo honey from Patagonia. Raw, unfiltered, batch tested. No Compromise
The Ulmo tree (Eucryphia Cordifolia), native to the rainforests of Chile, is known for its stunning white flowers that bloom in late summer. During this short blooming period, the flowers serve as a vital nectar source for honey bees who then transform it into Ulmo honey, renowned for its unique floral taste. The Ulmo tree's vibrant flowers are a testament to the rich biodiversity of Chile's forests and play a crucial role in sustaining local ecosystems.
It is at the foothills of the striking Puntiagudo volcano that our beehives reside, surrounded completely by Ulmo trees and the Patagonia rainforest.
Far from other farmland and any other agricultural and industrial pollution, the bees forage in a untouched, clean environment, resulting in a pure honey.
In fact, our hives are nestled in a pristine, remote location accessible only by boat.
This isolation has allowed us to have a "single origin" honey that is 97% from Ulmo blossom nectar, an amount that is unheard of in the honey world. As honey is subject to seasonality, we will strive to keep it its Ulmo floral content as high as possible.
Our Ulmo honey is stored in a protective dutch-made "violet" Miron glass designed to prolong potency.
Since honey never expires, this glass jar keeps the actives from degrading by filtering harmful light, and letting beneficial violet and infrared light pass through, keeping your honey hive-fresh for longer!
We wanted to avoid plastic packaging at all costs, and internal seals that contain harmful chemical adhesive that often leaks into the contents.
The jar contains no dyes, and gets its violet color from a propriety blend of natural minerals.
Raw honey will naturally crystallize. To reduce crystallization, we have creamed our honey, creating a smooth and spreadable honey (crystallization is a natural process that may still occur even after creaming). You can lightly heat it up in a warm water bath (100°F/40°C) in case it still crystallizes (please do not microwave the jar).
Our honey is tested by a third-party lab using the latest Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) technology to guarantee the quality and authenticity of our honey. NMR works by analyzing the chemical "fingerprint" of our honey, allowing a complete look at its composition.
We check the pollen content in order to ensure that it can be classified as a "monofloral" honey. We also test for pesticides and other impurities.
Honey is one of the most tampered foods worldwide, often imported from countries with weaker quality control. Many companies capitalize on this, resulting in a product with questionable quality. Unlike other honey brands who create blends of honeys, our honey is monofloral and from a single origin and source.
We fully disclose our lab tests and are available for anyone to check.
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 United States.
Most people dont know that As of 2021, honey cannot be certified organic by the USDA. Any honey organic honey sold in the United States is imported from other countries and certified organic by that country. While this honey is not USDA Certified Organic, we guarantee that it adheres to all organic standards. Our source harvests honey from pristine regions and uses only hive treatments approved for organic beekeeping.
