Creamed honey, also known as whipped honey or set honey, is a luxurious, smooth, and spreadable form of honey that has captivated honey enthusiasts worldwide. Unlike liquid honey, creamed honey undergoes a controlled crystallisation process to achieve its velvety texture, making it perfect for spreading on toast, adding to tea, or enjoying straight from the jar. At Buzzy Honey Bee, a premier beekeeping operation based in Nottingham, we take pride in producing the highest quality creamed honey and other bee products from our local apiaries situated around Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire.
In this article, we’ll explore the art and science of creamed honey, its health benefits, how it’s made, and why Buzzy Honey Bee is your go-to source for premium creamed honey in Nottingham. Our commitment to sustainable beekeeping and exceptional quality ensures that every jar of our creamed honey is a taste of nature’s finest.
What is Creamed Honey?
Creamed honey is created through a meticulous process that encourages the natural crystallisation of honey into fine, smooth crystals. This results in a creamy, spreadable texture that retains all the natural goodness of raw honey. Unlike liquid honey, which can crystallise unevenly and become grainy, creamed honey is deliberately crafted to achieve a consistent, buttery consistency.
At Buzzy Honey Bee, our creamed honey is made from 100% raw, unpasteurised honey sourced from our local apiaries in and around Nottingham and Derbyshire. We never heat our honey, preserving its natural enzymes, vitamins, and minerals. This dedication to quality makes our creamed honey a nutritious and delicious addition to your diet.

- Smooth Texture: Perfect for spreading on bread, scones, or crackers without dripping.
- Natural Sweetness: Retains the rich, floral flavours of Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire’s wildflowers and blossoms.
- Versatile Use: Ideal for baking, cooking, or as a natural sweetener in beverages.

The Health Benefits of Creamed Honey
Creamed honey is not just a delicious treat; it’s also packed with health benefits. As a natural sweetener, it’s a healthier alternative to processed sugar and offers a range of nutritional properties:
- Rich in Antioxidants: Contains phenolic compounds that help combat oxidative stress.
- Natural Energy Booster: Provides a quick source of energy due to its natural sugars.
- Antibacterial Properties: Raw honey is known for its ability to fight bacteria and support wound healing.
- Supports Immunity: Contains trace minerals like magnesium, potassium, and zinc, which support overall health.
- May Help with Allergies: Consuming local honey, like ours from Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire, may help reduce seasonal allergy symptoms by exposing you to local pollen.
At Buzzy Honey Bee, our creamed honey retains all these benefits because we never compromise on quality. Each jar is a testament to the hard work of our bees and our dedication to natural beekeeping.
How We Make Our Creamed Honey
The process of making creamed honey is both an art and a science. At Buzzy Honey Bee, we follow a time-honoured method to ensure our creamed honey is of the highest quality:
- Harvesting Raw Honey: Our bees collect nectar from wildflowers and other blossoms in Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire’s countryside. This raw honey is carefully extracted from the comb without heating, preserving its natural properties.
- Controlled Crystallisation: We introduce a small amount of finely crystallised “seed” honey to guide the crystallisation process. This ensures the honey forms tiny, smooth crystals rather than large, gritty ones.
- Gentle Mixing: The honey is gently stirred over several days at a controlled temperature to achieve its signature creamy texture.
- Bottling: Once the perfect consistency is reached, we bottle the creamed honey in small batches, ready for you to enjoy.
This careful process ensures that every jar of Buzzy Honey Bee creamed honey is smooth, spreadable, and bursting with flavour.
