Drizzle is raw, unpasteurized honey that has not been heated or filtered. This means it still contains healthy enzymes, vitamins, and minerals that come naturally from honey. We also offer our new Superfood Honeys, which are a delicious blend of our coveted Drizzle White Raw Honey plus a number of intentionally selected organic and premium ingredients. 

White Honey: Clover, Thistle and other wildflowers

Golden Honey: Wildflower, Dandelion, Hemp, Mint and Coriander

Because raw honey hasn’t been heated or filtered it still contains healthy enzymes, vitamins, and minerals. When honey is heated the enzymatic properties are destroyed and when honey is heavily filtered the pollen and beeswax are removed, which also removes many of the vitamins and minerals since pollen is rich in proteins, free amino acids, vitamins and folic acid. About 76% of the honey on the market has been processed, heated and/or filtered and we wanted to make sure ours was left raw, as nature intended.

When Drizzle was first started, our founder was an avid beekeeper in urban Calgary and our honey came from backyards around the city. Not only did Drizzle quickly outgrow this urban honey supply, but Aja (the companies founder) also became allergic to bees! To continue her passion for empowering sustainable production in the honey industry and love for real, raw honey she turned to her beekeeping network to continue the company, while also supporting local farms.

We now proudly source our honey from apiaries across Canada. In order to keep our honey completely raw, bee-friendly and 100% Canadian we only support local farms and beekeepers, use honey from remote hives away from pesticides and/or those close to diverse floral sources (makes for healthier bees) and those which we know will produce the most luxurious, delicious raw honey available. This year we were able to hold the first of many events which will help raise funds for Pollinator Partnerships, a registered not for profit organization dedicated exclusively to the protection and promotion of pollinators and their ecosystems.

Sourcing locally is important on so many levels for a conscious consumer. You can look at it from economic, environmental and health perspectives. If you haven't already watched it, the documentary Rotten by Netflix gives a great overview of why local honey is a better choice than imported honey.

Local honey is better for our planet because it reduces the environmental costs associated with food miles; that is how far your food has to travel from farm to plate and the associated fuel used to do this.

Sourcing locally also keeps dollars in our local economy. On the other hand, purchasing from outside sources dilutes these dollars because every stage that links the buyer to the seller (think trucking systems, warehouses, storefronts) takes a cut out of dollars that we could see go directly to our local business owners, producers and beekeepers.

Purchasing local honey keeps our hardworking beekeepers from going bankrupt. There are current issues with major honey brands purchasing “fake” honey, which is often adulterated, from abroad (see the Netflix documentary Rotten). Our local beekeepers cannot compete with the foreign prices to produce their honey on Canadian fields, and in some years face bankruptcy situations. In other words, they have to sell their honey below the cost it takes to produce it or they have to warehouse it, hoping for a fair price to be offered – both leading to no income. To make matters worse, some major brands are blending foreign honey with Canadian honey and labeling products as Canada-made honey, so consumers often do not know what exactly they are buying.

No, honey is one product that never goes bad or expires. We put a 3 year best before date on our jars just as a guideline but trust us you'll finish your honey way before then!

See our How to Eat Honeycomb blog post for all the sweet details.

Drizzle has been certified by the Canada Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) and the Food and Drug Agency (FDA) processes and labeled according to regulation.

You are welcome to keep your honey at room temperature in a cool dry place, such as your pantry, cupboards, or on the counter. There is no need to refrigerate honey as it will cause the honey to have an even thicker consistency. If you prefer runnier or thinner honey, give the jar a warm water bath. Please don’t microwave the honey as that can reduce the nutritional value of raw honey.

The main reason our honey is creamy is due to the floral sources in our region. Alberta honey is known for its thicker consistency and white colour. As an added benefit, our honey will not crystallize into larger honey grains in the jar which is a common trait of other honeys on the market.

Raw honey can naturally separate like natural peanut butter. This is due to the varying moisture levels in the harvest. It can be stirred back in and enjoyed!

Drizzle Honey is available at a selection of retailers across Canada. A full list of our retailers can be found here. You can also follow us on Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook to stay up to date on pop-up events and markets.

Most honey companies blend their honey together to create a consistent product throughout the year. Drizzle instead showcases and celebrates the natural, seasonal and floral varieties in our honey. Flowers that bloom in different locations and seasons change the colour and flavour of the honey. Unlike our competitors, we like to highlight these beautiful differences, rather than blend them together.
Sustainability is so important to us, Drizzle has sustainable business practices, packaging, and products. Our bee-friendly initiatives include sustainable sourcing from our local beekeeping partners, healthy hive locations (remote, wide floral variety) and donations to pollinator research.
Drizzle is unpasteurized, raw and 100% real, therefore a healthier option compared to traditional sweeteners and the majority of honey on the market which is pasteurized and heavily filtered.
Drizzle is proudly an all-female operated business and is making huge waves across Canada. The founder Aja (pronounced Asia) was formerly an environmental scientist turned sustainable beekeeper and Drizzle's investment partner is Dragon’s Den Investor Arlene Dickinson.
Our Superfood Honey Collection is the first of it's kind in Canada. This collection is health focused and showcase the benefits of superfoods. Each ingredient is intentionally selected for their health-conscious properties and functionality. For example, the Cacao Luxe Raw Honey contains Organic Raw Cacao which provides energy, Organic Lucuma for antioxidants, Organic Ceylon Cinnamon to boost cognitive function and Madagascar Vanilla that reduces inflammation.
How can I make my honey softer or have more drizzle?
Simply set the jar in a bowl of warm water or heat lightly your favorite way and it will soften easily. On a warm day in your house, it will even naturally soften.

Drizzle is a sweet addition to any wedding, party, or shower.
