There is nothing quite as pure or satisfying as a spoonful of raw honey straight from the colony. It’s a staple in Hutterite kitchens, used for everything from sweetening morning tea to glazing Sunday roasts.
But when you visit our online shop, you’re faced with a delicious dilemma: Liquid, Creamed, or Cinnamon Creamed?
We get asked all the time: “What’s the difference between creamed honey vs liquid honey?” or “Is one healthier than the other?”
The short answer is: they are all incredibly good for you, because they all start as the same 100% pure, raw Hutterite honey. The difference lies in the texture, the experience, and how you use them.
Here is your ultimate guide to choosing the right jar for your pantry (or why you probably need all three).
Before we dive into textures, it’s vital to understand what makes HFE honey different from the teddy-bear-shaped bottle at the supermarket.
Supermarket honey is often pasteurized (heated to high temperatures) and ultra-filtered. This keeps it liquid forever, but it kills the beneficial enzymes, destroys vitamins, and removes the flavorful pollen. It’s essentially just golden sugar syrup.
Our honey is raw and unfiltered. We only strain it enough to remove bee parts and wax. This means all the natural raw honey benefits—the antibacterial properties, local pollen (great for seasonal allergies), and natural enzymes—are left intact in every jar, regardless of whether it’s liquid or creamed.
This is honey in its most natural state, straight from the hive to the jar. Our liquid honey is golden, translucent, and flows beautifully.
The Texture: Smooth, pourable, and sticky. It delivers a quick, intense burst of floral sweetness.
Best Uses: Because it mixes easily, liquid honey is the kitchen workhorse.
Sweetening Drinks: It dissolves perfectly in hot tea, coffee, or cold lemonade.
Cooking & Baking: It’s easy to measure for recipes or marinades.
Toppings: Drizzling over yogurt, granola, or pancakes.
HFE Pro-Tip: If your liquid honey starts to look cloudy or solid, don’t throw it out! Crystallization is natural and a sign that your honey is truly raw and unpasteurized. Simply place the jar in a bowl of warm water for a few minutes, and it will return to its liquid state.
The biggest myth about creamed honey? That it contains dairy.
Creamed honey contains absolutely no cream. It is made 100% from our raw liquid honey. It goes through a controlled crystallization process where we slowly stir the honey at cool temperatures. This encourages tiny, smooth crystals to form instead of large, jagged ones.
The Texture: The result is a luxurious, velvety, opaque spread with a consistency similar to peanut butter. It is smooth on the tongue and, crucially, it does not drip.
Best Uses: When comparing creamed honey vs liquid, choose creamed when you want the honey to stay put.
Toast & Biscuits: It spreads like butter and won’t run off the edges of your warm toast.
Sandwiches: Perfect for peanut butter and honey sandwiches (no sticky mess for the kids!).
By the Spoonful: It’s the best texture for eating straight from the jar when you need a sore throat soother or a sweet treat.
We took our velvety raw creamed honey and folded in high-quality ground cinnamon. It’s a match made in heaven. The warmth of the spice perfectly balances the sweetness of the honey.
The Texture: Same smooth, spreadable consistency as our regular creamed honey, but with a warm, spiced color and aroma.
Best Cinnamon Honey Uses: This flavor is pure comfort in a jar.
Morning Oats: Swirled into hot oatmeal or porridge.
Coffee Sweetener: It adds sweetness and spice to your morning brew without needing artificial syrups.
Glazes: Incredible brushed onto roasted sweet potatoes, carrots, or even a baked ham.
Dessert: Spread onto a crepe or used as a dip for apple slices.
So, which is best? It depends entirely on your mood and your meal.
You need Liquid Honey for your tea, Creamed Honey for your morning toast, and Cinnamon Honey for your weekend baking projects.
