Additional information: Metsaserva honey is produced honestly and purely. It is traceable, unfiltered raw honey that has been slowly stirred for a short period to create creamed honey. Creamed honey is always soft, silky, and velvety. It retains the natural properties of honey. It may separate in warm conditions! Every honey has its own memory and is unique. The propolis is collected from wooden hive bodies, hive frames, plywood covers, and propolis collection grids by mechanical scraping. The bee bread used is collected from bee bread frames, cleaned, dried, and ground before being mixed into the honey.
