Desert Creek Honey - 100% Raw, Unfiltered, Pure Honey from Texas - Natural Sugar Substitute - Five Gallons of Bulk Unprocessed, Unpasteurized American Honey - Harvested by Our Own Beekeepers

Awesome! Tasty! Yum! The box took a hit on 3 of the top corners and 1 hit on a bottom corner. The bag holding the bucket didn’t stand a chance, but the bucket was perfect! The honey tastes wonderful. Will buy again.

Quality - Great Taste - Solid. Peace jw dot org

Excellent taste , clean , well packaged. Very satisfied with this product

This Desert Creek raw honey is the real deal. It comes in a huge bucket, and every bit of it tastes bold, wild, and natural. Almost medicinal in the best way. You can tell it hasn’t been overly processed. The flavor has that earthy, floral depth that only comes from true raw, unfiltered honey. I mainly use it in my southern sweet tea, and it completely elevates it. Way better than sugar, smooth, rich, and just the right kind of sweet. Plus, raw honey has so many natural benefits. It helps soothe sore throats, supports the immune system, and can even aid with allergies if it’s local. It’s also antibacterial which is why I use it on cuts and wounds! Makes it heal WAY faster. You’re not just getting a sweetener, you’re getting something that actually does some good for your body. For the price and the amount you get, it’s ABSOLUTELY worth it! I’ll keep coming back to Desert Creek for more!

This is my third 5-gallon bucket from Desert Creek and I keep coming back for a reason. The honey tastes excellent - good complexity, not cloyingly sweet like cut honey, and the price per pound is unbeatable for raw, unfiltered stuff. The only inconsistency I've noticed: sometimes you get exactly 60lbs of honey (container tare not included), other times you get the full 63lbs including the bucket. This batch was spot-on at 63lbs total. Seems to depend on who's manning the scale that day, but the variance is minor enough that I'm still ordering. If you go through honey in volume, this is the move. Real product, fair price, no nonsense.

Amazing honey!!

This honey is poor quality and very bitter. I wanted to have a good amount of honey on hand as an “emergency supply” since it keeps forever. I divided the honey into sterile glass jars with tight fitting seals and stored in a cool, dark room. I went to use the honey after about 6 months and the honey had darkened, solidified and was very bitter. It tastes more like a strong molasses than honey. Seller said too bad for you. Don’t buy from this seller.

So for years I've been using Sue Bee in bulk. (The non-pasteurized crowd gasps in dismay.) But it tasted good and I had a source with a great price. When they stopped carrying it, I went shopping and tried a lot of brands. Several of the raw versions and a few pasteurized. Most of the pasteurized had almost no flavor, including a couple brands I tried on Amazon. I got raw versions here (including the gallon Desert Creek) and at stores like Costco. Prices were higher than I had been paying and, for the most part, didn't like them as much. Desert Creek was best. The flavor is pretty strong, though. When I saw the 5 gallon pail and the price, had to give it a try. Big cost saving. Since honey doesn't go bad and I use a lot of it, gave it a shot. The bucket works well. You pull out the spout and it seals nicely. Minimum cleanup after pouring. (But remember, it does weigh 60 pounds.) Edit - I now transfer it to a large pot and spoon it out. Edit. At first I was mixing this with a cheap honey for extra sweetness, but found I liked it better by itself. The Costco honey was from Argentina and I wasn't thrilled about potential additives there. Another note. There are always a lot of factors on how you feel physically. But I changed to unpasteurized honey when everything else in my diet was the same. I started feeling a little more energetic. Could be a combination of things, but I did notice an improvement. Again, price is great. Container is excellent. And I have enough honey for my tea-in-isolation to outlast the pandemic. Edit - I've moved it up to 5 stars.
