As a child, 50 years ago, I grew up in the country surrounded by farms. We had a small orchard of apple, pear, peach and cherry trees. One of the neighbors, an old kindhearted German who I had problems understanding, asked if he could set up some of his beehives at the edge of our orchard. For this, he offered to give us some of the honey when he harvested it. He did give us honey every fall...much more than he should have. The taste and aroma of that honey I would never forget...it was the best I had ever had.
As you can imagine, over 50 years I have had so many different brands of honey I can't even begin to count. None of them even came close to my childhood memory. On a whim, while browsing Amazon, I ordered this honey figuring I had nothing to lose. OH MY GOD... I was a kid again. All the memories of that honey 50 years ago came back in a flash....the same amazing taste. I went through half the container in a matter of a few days. They say you can never go back in time, but thanks to Nature's Nate...I have.
I'll just start off by saying that this is the honey I've been looking for and will be buying it forever.
I moved and lost my supplier who was a local beekeeper and had the perfect honey on the darker side, without being too bold. This is the seventh bottle/jar of honey to join my kitchen in my quest. That's apparently how particular I've become, which was a shock to both me and my wallet. I tried to deal with sub par or too strong honey, but just couldn't. It's my simple pleasure.
I drink green tea non stop and sweeten it with honey. The tea is quality loose, single source, so it needs a nice honey, a honey with the right amount of soul - if you will.
You can get some Aretha Franklin level soul honeys, but it will completely overpower the lighter flavor of the tea. Same way you can get Jonas Brothers level soul and, while it pleases some people, just ends up tasting plainly sweet.
I wanted, needed, a nice Adele soul level honey. It has body, it has pizazz, it will not be forgotten (and for more than unjustly getting an award over another honey, but I digress). It compliments and is versatile and will suit your daily honey uses.
So I hum Rolling in the Deep while stirring this honey into my tea, knowing it will perfectly compliment it, leaving a warm impression without completely bowling over everything else.
Delicious! I mix with cider vinegar in warm water every am. 2tbs vinegar 1tsp honey. Very health beneficial.
So I bought this not to eat but to use as my face wash. So far it's amazing. The texture is not sticky like you'd think it would be, it spreads onto the face very easily (just dampen your face a bit first), it rinses off immediately when water touches it. My only complaint is the smell is so strong but that's to be expected and doesn't deter me from using it.
My face never feels dry or tight after I wash it with honey. Washing with honey helps fight acne too so you don't need to use a million other products with it. I was on a multi step Korean skincare regime before and while it worked, it was killing my bank account. I would definitely recommend this to anyone that's thinking about it, just do it!
I can't say enough good things about this honey. I re-order it regularly. Great taste & consistency. Really enhances my Green Tea. The squeeze cap is amazing (when it survives Amazon's shipping & packaging .. see below). It allows you to squeeze with no drips at all.
I've mentioned to Amazon that they have to do better with their packaging. (see the pics I've posted) This is NO FAULT of the honey mfg themselves. A 40 oz bottle of honey is simply heavy. It should be packaged in something protective like bubble wrap. Not just put into a plastic bag and placed into a box that's too big, so it can get bounced all around. 3 of the last 5 bottles I received had a broken squeeze cap. I got into the habit of saving the good ones, just in case my next order comes thru broken. (like today) Although they are replacing it (which I appreciate. I never said anything about the previous ones.), I took a shot at chatting with Customer Service to see if we could get this issue fixed for future orders.
It's GREAT honey! Really. I will continue to order it.

I read the reviews before I purchased this honey, and I have to say that as great as the reviews were, this far exceeded my expectations.
First of all you cannot beat the price. It is such a great deal for what you get. The honey tastes wonderful, and best of all, the no drip spout is so convenient.
I appreciate the quality, as it has the pollen and enzymes....and it really tastes great.
Also, I was pleasantly surprised when I read the label and saw that the manufacturer is a man of faith.... I wasn't looking for that specifically, ( I didn't know it was a thing...?), but for me, that was the reason for 5 stars.
I will very likely never purchase another honey from any other company again.
I am that impressed !
Love this honey! Spout has a valve that helps control flow and keep honey fresh. We use this as a sugar substitute and it’s the perfect amount of sweet.
Amazing honey!!! Once I tried the raw & unfiltered honey, I can never go back to the "regular" ones in the supermarket. It tastes so good. I love the bottle design, where the open has flaps to prevent dripping when holding the bottle upside down and pour the honey. I'm going to try the organic version next.
The only downside is, it doesn't tell you what kind of flower or region Nature Nate's is using. It only says using American bees.
I bought this to use for my DIY products (body wash, hair pomade, etc), and funny enough, my mom bought it the same day from the grocery store for kitchen use. So far, I have only used this in my lemon tea, but I'm happy to say it's the most delicious honey I have ever used. I will update on its use with my body products, but I hope it's just as good as it tastes.
I love this brand of honey and buy sometimes 10 at a time at Cost(co). We use only honey for our coffee in the morning. I've kept it for up to 8 months and never had a problem with it crystallizing. When I saw these as an add on item thru Amazon, it was a no brainer...yes I love nature nates honey. The problem is, for some reason both of these were crystallized upon arrival. I saw that other people had problems with this in the reviews. I honestly just thought they were exaggerating. I've been using this brand for a few years and never once had a problem...even when they sit for 8 months when I buy in bulk. I can't tell that it taste different, so I'm 99% positive it's the same honey. I've tried to warm it in a bowl of water and it melts some but goes right back to being crystallized. If this has happened to you, don't write off this brand, it is great honey. I won't order it from here again though.
Update 11/15/18
I contacted Nature Nates and their customer service is amazing. If you love honey try this brand you won't be disappointed...I recommend buying it at Costco or Walmart though.
