FAQ
The questions we hear most, with straight answers.
How do I know the honey is real?
Home tests (water, lighter, vinegar) aren't scientifically reliable. Only a lab test of moisture, sugars and HMF can tell, so every batch comes with a certificate and every jar carries a number that leads to it.
My honey crystallized. Is it fake?
No. Crystallization is natural and depends on glucose content and temperature; speed varies by honey. To liquefy it, place the jar in warm water under 40 °C and stir. Avoid the microwave and boiling.
Why is Jordanian sidr light in color?
Sidr is light amber when harvested and darkens over time. A black color is not a sign of quality.
What's the difference between sidr, samar and talh?
Sidr is amber, thick, aromatic and less sweet. Samar is dark reddish with a strong, slightly sharp taste. Talh is light gold, mildly sweet with a soft scent.
Jordanian or Yemeni sidr?
Both come from the same sidr blossom; the difference is pasture, taste and price. Yemeni sidr's higher price comes from its reputation and Gulf demand. We sell both and state the origin clearly.
Why are your prices higher than some shops?
Local honey is limited; Jordan imports more than twice what it produces. We also don't feed our bees sugar during the season, and we test every batch. Compare the same honey from the same origin, and start with 250 g if you'd like to try.
Is honey suitable for diabetics?
Honey raises blood sugar because it is mostly sugars. Some patients can have a small measured amount after asking their doctor. We never describe any honey as a treatment for diabetes.
From what age can children have honey?
Never give honey to babies under 12 months, in any form, due to the risk of infant botulism. After the first year it is fine as part of a balanced diet.
How should I store honey? In the fridge?
In a sealed jar, somewhere dry and out of the sun at room temperature. The fridge speeds up crystallization. Use a dry spoon. Keep royal jelly in the freezer.
Is creamed honey mixed with anything?
No. It's natural honey crystallized in a controlled way so it becomes smooth and spreadable, with nothing added.
When was this honey harvested?
It's written on every product page and every jar: season, month and batch number.
How much is delivery? Do you deliver everywhere?
2 JOD in Amman, 3 to 4 JOD to other governorates, free over 35 JOD. Delivery takes 1 to 3 working days. Pay cash on delivery or by CliQ.
What if I don't like the honey?
If a jar arrives broken or different from your order, we replace it right away. If you don't like the taste, tell us within 7 days with less than a quarter of the jar used.
Do you make gift boxes or favors for occasions?
Yes: ready-made gift boxes and mini jar favors for weddings and new babies, with a gift card written in your name.
