Dutchman's Gold Raw Honey
John Van Alten started with 300 hives in 1981. Dutchman's Gold Raw Honey is cold-processed and only lightly filtered, so a little pollen, royal jelly and beeswax stay in. A 1 kg (2.2 lb) jar sets solid at room temperature.
The company still runs from Carlisle, Ontario, with two facilities in the province. Angela Ysseldyk and her husband Mark have owned it since 2018. Its ingredient line is 100% Canadian honey.
Spread it on toast or stir it into a hot drink. Unpasteurized, on this brand, means heated under 40 degrees Celsius. Leave the jar out, around 10 to 15 degrees, unless you want it firmer.
