Maters & Co Raw Honey | 100% Natural, Unfiltered & Unpasteurised
Since the last century, Willem & Sara Maters have resided in the beautiful south Cambridgeshire countryside on a smallholding with their own beehives, livestock and a wide range of organic fruit and vegetables. Their daughter Kate inherited this passion for healthy and natural living and founded Maters & Co on the same principles — raw, natural goodness of the highest quality.
Every honey in the range is completely unfiltered and unpasteurised, left in its natural state so each variety retains its unique, nuanced flavour. The variety names reflect the type of flower or plant the bees were feeding on, or the season and area of harvest — never infused, never artificially flavoured, 100% pure. Once sampled, it is impossible to go back to regular supermarket honey.
🐝 TJ's personal favourite: Pure Scottish Heather 🐝
Why You'll Love It
🍯 Truly Raw & Unfiltered – Left completely in its natural state, preserving the enzymes, pollen and complex flavour compounds that heating and filtering destroy.
🌿 Each Variety is Unique – The flower source, season and region all shape the flavour — no two varieties taste the same, and none of them taste like supermarket honey.
🐝 From a Family Who Live by These Values – The Maters family have kept their own bees and grown their own food for generations. This is honey made with genuine care.
A Cut Above the Rest
Raw honey pairs beautifully with our Artisanal Cheeses — try a drizzle over Baron Bigod or Colston Bassett Stilton on a board. Also exceptional stirred into morning porridge or drizzled over warm crumpets and good toast.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is raw honey?
Raw honey is honey that has not been heated above the natural temperature of a beehive (around 35°C) and has not been finely filtered. Most commercial supermarket honey is pasteurised — heated to high temperatures to prevent crystallisation and extend shelf life — which destroys the natural enzymes, pollen, propolis and complex flavour compounds. Raw honey retains all of these, which is why it tastes so dramatically different and has far greater nutritional value.
Why does raw honey crystallise?
Crystallisation is a completely natural process and a sign that your honey is genuinely raw and unprocessed — it is not a sign of spoilage or poor quality. All raw honey will eventually crystallise depending on its floral source and storage temperature. To return it to a liquid state, simply place the jar in a bowl of warm (not boiling) water and stir gently. Never microwave honey — it destroys the enzymes and flavour compounds that make raw honey special.
How do the varieties differ?
Each variety reflects the floral source the bees were foraging on, the season and the region of harvest. Scottish Heather honey is robust, complex and slightly bitter — one of the most distinctive honeys in the world. Wildflower varieties are gentler and more rounded, with flavour that varies with the season. The names on each variety describe the source — no flavourings are ever added.
How should I store it?
Store at room temperature, away from direct sunlight. Do not refrigerate — cold temperatures accelerate crystallisation. Raw honey has an almost indefinite shelf life if kept properly sealed. Archaeologists have found 3,000-year-old honey in Egyptian tombs that was still edible.
