About this harvest

Shabwani Sidr honey from the high, dry plateau of Shabwah — the darkest and most resinous of our three harvests — in a 15.4 lb (7 kg) food-grade gallon.

One gallon holds as much honey as fourteen of our 500 g jars. At $995 it works out to roughly $142 per kilogram against about $280 per kilogram in jars — the format exists so businesses and heavy users can buy the real thing at a price that works at volume.

Every gallon ships free of charge, directly from our beekeepers in Yemen. It is a longer road: please allow 3–5 weeks for delivery.

Our honey is a food. It is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease. Honey is not suitable for infants under 12 months.

Questions before buying

Why does delivery take 3–5 weeks?

Because your gallon ships directly from our beekeepers in Yemen — not from our US warehouse. Shipping is free; the trade is time for price. Jars still ship fast from the US.

Is it the same honey as the jars?

Yes — the same raw, unheated, lab-tested harvest, packed in a 15.4 lb (7 kg) food-grade gallon instead of glass. One gallon holds as much honey as fourteen 500 g jars.

How do I know this is genuinely Yemeni Sidr honey?

Every jar states the valley it came from and the season it was harvested. There is no grading system for Sidr honey the way there is for Manuka — a seller who cannot name both does not know their own supply chain.

Is it raw and unfiltered?

Yes. It is not heated, not pasteurised and not fine-filtered. It may crystallise over time, which is a sign it has not been heat-treated rather than a fault.

How should I store it?

Room temperature, lid closed, out of direct sunlight, and always use a dry spoon. It does not need refrigeration and does not meaningfully expire.

Can children eat it?

Not under twelve months — honey is unsuitable for infants because of the risk of infant botulism. Above that age it is an ordinary food.

Best honey ever!
I am not a person who is very fond of honey and I have tried many different kinds but this honey has surpassed them all by far. This has to be thebest tasting honey I have ever had and will probably be the only honey I will continue to buy! It has a floral scent and a refreshing taste similar to candy but with floral notes in it. I have recommended this honey to quite a few other people and they all are going to be purchasing as well. 100/10!
