Clover Honey - Raw and Unfiltered Bulk - 1 gallon (12lbs)

Both hold the same 12 pounds of honey. Choose based on how you plan to use it:

• Gallon jug — easier to pour. The better pick for everyday kitchen use.
• Gallon pail — airtight and food-grade, with a wide opening. The better pick for long-term storage, refilling smaller jars, or scooping honey once it has crystallized.

For long-term storage in either container, we recommend transferring the honey to glass jars.

Yes. Our gallon pails and jugs are food-grade and BPA-free. They seal airtight to preserve flavor and quality, and they're far lighter than glass — which is what lets us keep bulk shipping affordable.

Yes, and we hold ourselves to a published standard: never heated above 118°F, strained at 400 microns so the natural pollen stays in, and never pasteurized.

Most grocery-store honey is cooked at 140–160°F and filtered crystal-clear — done to look appealing on a shelf and to delay crystallization. We do neither. Read our published raw & unfiltered standard.

No. Honey is one of the very few foods that does not spoil. Its low moisture and natural acidity make it inhospitable to the microbes that spoil other foods.

Over time it may crystallize or darken slightly. Neither affects safety, and neither means the honey has gone bad.

Keep it sealed, at room temperature, out of direct sunlight. Honey is shelf-stable and needs no refrigeration — in fact, cold speeds up crystallization.

If you're storing a large container for a long stretch, we recommend transferring the honey into glass jars. For honey you'll work through within a few months, the original container is fine as-is.

No — do not give honey of any kind to infants under 12 months old. This applies to raw honey and pasteurized honey alike, and to every brand, not just ours.

Honey can contain Clostridium botulinum spores. An adult digestive system handles them without trouble, but an infant's cannot, and they can cause infant botulism. Honey is considered safe for children over one year of age and for adults. This guidance comes from the CDC and the American Academy of Pediatrics.

Yes — a good share of our bulk customers do exactly that. Homebrewers typically use somewhere around 2–3 pounds of honey per gallon of finished mead, so a 12-pound pail comfortably covers a standard 5-gallon batch.

It's also a practical size for bakers, coffee shops, and anyone refilling smaller jars at home. Because it's raw and unfiltered, you get the full character of the varietal rather than the flat sweetness of heavily processed honey.

Yes. Beyond the 1-gallon, we carry larger bulk sizes including 5-gallon pails. Browse all bulk honey sizes.
