Our Top Picks

Taste and texture can vary widely depending on how the honey is processed and the type of flowers the bees sip on. Most of these finds are raw honey, meaning they're not heavily processed and retain most of the honey's natural nutrients and antioxidants. An everyday option to add to drinks or food can be as simple as a solid raw or unfiltered squeeze bottle like Nature Nate's. Consider a jar's flavor notes (some will be floral, herbal, or fruity, and we've even included a few hot honeys, too!). Whether you're learning how to infuse honey or serving guests a dish like Ree's honey-soy salmon, there's a sticky-sweet honey that's right for you! Heading to a Jewish New Year dinner?
