About this honey

Starthistle Wildflower Honey – Raw, Unfiltered, Mediterranean Roots

Golden. Full-bodied. This honey comes from hives working the Mediterranean Starthistle – a wildflower that's been quietly colonizing the Bay Area hills, and our bees were there to meet it.

The flavor profile reads like something a sommelier would write: almond, cinnamon, molasses, dried prune. But this isn't wine country pretension – it's what raw, unprocessed honey tastes like when the bees have something extraordinary to work with.

How to use it: In your morning tea. On toast with peanut butter. Over strong cheeses – blue, romano, parmesan. Drizzled on a salad with ranch. Anywhere you want a honey that doesn't just sweeten – it adds depth.

This is a runny honey. Pours clean, spreads easy, and finishes with a warmth that stays with you.

Raw. Unfiltered. Harvested and bottled by Mike & Niki's Honey Company, Campbell, California.

Questions we get.

How much is shipping?

Free over $50. Under $50 it is $5.99. Pick up is free at 3495 S Bascom Ave, Campbell.

My honey turned hard or cloudy. Is it bad?

No. That is crystallization, and it is natural. It is what real honey does. Set the jar in a bowl of warm water, stir gently, and it turns liquid again. Same honey.

Is it really raw and never blended?

Yes. Raw, and never blended. Each jar comes from the hives of one neighborhood or one bloom, so Saratoga stays Saratoga.
