What Is Ulmo Honey?

Our Ulmo Honey

Single-Origin Ulmo honey from Patagonia.

Discover

Ulmo trees grow tall in Patagonia, a mythical land of glaciers, big rivers and snow-capped peaks that fall directly into the ocean. During January and February, the always green forests in Chilean Patagonia blossom, covered in white. During these months we find no other flowers around, so bees rely only on ulmo flower nectar to produce their honey.

Our Beehives

It is at the foothills of the striking Puntiagudo volcano that our beehives reside, surrounded completely by Ulmo trees and the Patagonia rainforest.

Far from other farmland and any other agricultural and industrial pollution, the bees forage in a untouched, clean environment, resulting in a pure honey.

In fact, our hives are nestled in a pristine, remote location accessible only by boat.

This isolation has allowed us to have a 'single origin' honey that is 97% from Ulmo blossom nectar, an amount that is unheard of in the honey world. As honey is subject to seasonality, we will strive to keep its Ulmo floral content as high as possible.

Miron Glass

Protective Jar

Our Ulmo honey is stored in a protective dutch-made 'violet' Miron glass designed to prolong potency.

Since honey never expires, this glass jar keeps the actives from degrading by filtering harmful light, and letting beneficial violet and infrared light pass through, keeping your honey hive-fresh for longer!

We wanted to avoid plastic packaging at all costs, and internal seals that contain harmful chemical adhesive that often leaks into the contents.

The jar contains no dyes, and gets its violet color from a proprietary blend of natural minerals.

Process

Raw & Creamed

Smooth and spreadable. Creamed to prevent crystallization.

Raw honey will naturally crystallize. To reduce crystallization, we have creamed our honey, creating a smooth and spreadable honey (crystallization is a natural process that may still occur even after creaming).

You can lightly heat it up in a warm water bath (100°F/40°C) in case it still crystallizes. Please do not microwave the jar.

OUR GUARANTEE

Tested. Transparent. Pure.

Quality

Testing

Third-party NMR fingerprint analysis.

Our honey is tested by a third-party lab using the latest Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) technology to guarantee the quality and authenticity of our honey. NMR works by analyzing the chemical 'fingerprint' of our honey, allowing a complete look at its composition.

We check the pollen content in order to ensure that it can be classified as a 'monofloral' honey. We also test for pesticides and other impurities.

Trust

Transparency

We fully disclose our lab tests.

Honey is one of the most tampered foods worldwide, often imported from countries with weaker quality control. Many companies capitalize on this, resulting in a product with questionable quality.

Unlike other honey brands who create blends of honeys, our honey is monofloral and from a single origin and source.

We fully disclose our lab tests and are available for anyone to check.

Standards

Organic?

Not USDA-certified — for a reason.

Because honey is considered a wildcrafted ingredient, and honeybees forage as far as 8 miles from their hives, organic certification of honey is not possible in the United States.

Most people don't know that as of 2021, honey cannot be certified organic by the USDA. Any organic honey sold in the United States is imported from other countries and certified organic by that country.

While this honey is not USDA Certified Organic, we guarantee that it adheres to all organic standards.
