Practices
How they work
- The White Honey is stated to be certified organic through a Participatory Guarantee System (PGS) following Bio-KG’s private organic standard.
- After collection, honey is extracted using heat stated not to exceed 40 °C, then filtered and packed; its white colour is attributed to crystallization.
- The product is described as untreated and not pasteurized.
- FAO reports that no fertilizers were used in producing the honey and describes apiary-siting distances as part of the producer’s stated organic-standard approach.
