Flavour

In our opinion, the local honey shows the characteristics of a traditional English honey, smooth but floral with hints of fudge and citrus.

Granulated Honey

All natural and unprocessed honey will crystallise over time.  Depending on which flowers the bees have been visiting will depend on how quickly the honey granulates or goes solid.  Processed liquid honey bought in the super market, is treated to stop granulation.  This is often done through heating the honey.  This process destroys the natural properties of the honey removing the benefits and altering the taste.

At Chilcotts Farm our honey is Pure and Untreated.  All we do is filter our honey after it has been extracted.

The fact that honey crystallises and granulates, is the best evidence that you have a quality pure product.  However, if you prefer liquid honey you can restore it to a liquid state by gently heating the honey.  To do this:

  1. Loosen the lid of the jar, and stand the honey jar in a bowl of hot water.
  2. Gently stir the honey until the honey becomes liquid again.

    Recycle & Re-use Jars & Egg Boxes

    We reuse and recycle egg boxes and our glass jars at Chilcotts Farm

    We are always grateful for clean half dozen egg boxes & the return of our glass jars for re-use

    Recycle Glass Jars

    After you have finished with your honey, jam, chutney or pickle, we can re-use the undamaged jars.

    12oz Hexagonal Jars (Our Jams and Honey)

    8oz Hexagonal Jars (Our Chutney, Pickle and Curds)

    Unfortunately, we can only accept the types of jars we sell.

    The lids can not be re-used, so are sent for recycling, but the glass jars are washed, cleaned and sterilised prior to being refilled with our delicious preserves and honey.

    So if you have bought our preserves or honey, rather than throwing the jar away, just drop it off at Chilcotts Farm the next time you are passing.

    Thank you!
