At Oros Machaira, we believe that honey is much more than just a sweet condiment. It’s a nutritious powerhouse that has been treasured for its health benefits and delicious taste for centuries. That’s why we offer our customers the most authentic form of honey – raw honey.

Studies show that yeasts cannot withstand high temperatures and many are destroyed when heated. While heating allows the product to remain in a fluid phase for longer, it does mean it loses nutritional value (Practical Bee-keeping – Andreas T.Thrasyvoulou, 1998). Raw honey is the purest form of honey available. It retains all its natural nutrients and enzymes which are mitigated by heat treatment. Unlike heated honey, unheated honey is never exposed to high temperatures that can destroy beneficial yeasts and reduce its nutritional value.

Raw honey also has a different, more complex flavour and aroma than processed honey, and many people enjoy its unique taste. In addition to its health benefits, raw honey also has anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties, which can help to promote wound healing and protect against infection.
