What is SweetLeaf® Stevia?

What is Drizzle Honey?
Drizzle isn't your average honey company. Drizzle's mission is to transform honey from a simple sweetener into a functional, sustainable superfood while offering products that are both good for the consumer and the environment. Drizzle's Collections include curated craft and superfood flavors that are raw, sustainable, and healthy. Sourced from northern apiaries that prioritize bee health, Certified B Corp, and Kosher.
What kind of honey does Drizzle have?
Drizzle is raw, unpasteurized honey that has not been heated or filtered. This means it still contains healthy enzymes, vitamins, and minerals that come naturally from honey. We also offer our new Superfood Honeys, which are a delicious blend of our coveted Drizzle White Raw Honey plus a number of intentionally selected organic and premium ingredients.
What flowers are the honey sourced from?
White Honey: Clover, Thistle, and other wildflowers
Golden Honey: Wildflower, Dandelion, Hemp, Mint and Coriander
What is so good about raw honey?
Because raw honey has not been heated or filtered it still contains healthy enzymes, vitamins, and minerals. When honey is heated the enzymatic properties are destroyed and when honey is heavily filtered the pollen and beeswax are removed, which also removes many of the vitamins and minerals since pollen is rich in proteins, free amino acids, vitamins, and folic acid. About 76% of the honey on the market has been processed, heated, and/or filtered and we wanted to make sure ours was left raw, as nature intended.
Where is Drizzle honey sourced from?
When Drizzle was first started, the founder was an avid beekeeper in urban Calgary, and our honey came from backyards around the city. We now proudly source our honey from apiaries across Canada. In order to keep our honey completely raw, bee-friendly and selectively sourced we only support local farms and beekeepers, use honey from remote hives away from pesticides and/or those close to diverse floral sources (makes for healthier bees) and those which we know will produce the most luxurious, delicious raw honey available.
Does raw honey expire?
No, honey is one product that never goes bad or expires. We put a 3 year best before date on our jars just as a guideline but trust us you will finish your honey way before then!
Has Drizzle been health and safety approved?
Drizzle has been certified by the Canada Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) and the Food and Drug Agency (FDA) processes and labeled according to regulation.
How do I correctly store raw honey?
You are welcome to keep your honey at room temperature in a cool dry place, such as your pantry, cupboards, or on the counter. There is no need to refrigerate honey as it will cause the honey to have an even thicker consistency. If you prefer runnier or thinner honey, give the jar a warm water bath. Please do not microwave the honey as that can reduce the nutritional value of raw honey.
Why is Drizzle honey thicker than other honeys I’ve tried?
The main reason our honey is creamy is due to the floral sources in our region. Alberta honey is known for its thicker consistency and white color. As an added benefit, our honey will not crystallize into larger honey grains in the jar which is a common trait of other honeys on the market.
My honey is separating, why is that?
Raw honey can naturally separate like natural peanut butter. This is due to the varying moisture levels in the harvest. It can be stirred back in and enjoyed!
How can I make my honey softer or have more drizzle?
Simply set the jar in a bowl of warm water or heat lightly your favorite way and it will soften easily. On a warm day in your house, it will even naturally soften.
Why is Drizzle different?
Most honey companies blend their honey together to create a consistent product throughout the year. Drizzle instead showcases and celebrates the natural, seasonal, and floral varieties in our honey. Flowers that bloom in different locations and seasons change the color and flavor of the honey. Unlike our competitors, we like to highlight these beautiful differences, rather than blend them together.
Drizzle has sustainable business practices, packaging, and products. Our bee-friendly initiatives include sustainable sourcing from our local beekeeping partners, healthy hive locations (remote, wide floral variety), and donations to pollinator research.
Drizzle is unpasteurized, raw and 100% real, therefore a healthier option compared to traditional sweeteners and the majority of honey on the market which is pasteurized and heavily filtered. We offer a variety of unique craft and enhanced honey flavors to transform honey from a simple sweetener into a functional, sustainable superfood.
