Creamed honey is honey with a smooth, spreadable texture created through controlled crystallization. It is also called whipped honey or spun honey. These names describe the texture and process. The creaming process itself does not add cream or dairy.
Southernmost Bees makes its creamed honey from raw honey produced by its own apiary. Controlled crystallization creates the smooth, spreadable texture. Flavored varieties include added seasonings or ingredients. Because ingredients and allergens vary, always check the label for the exact flavor you choose.
Why is creamed honey smooth?
Honey naturally forms crystals over time. When those crystals become large, the honey can become hard or feel coarse and grainy. Creamed honey is different because the controlled crystallization process encourages many small crystals to form instead.
Those tiny crystals create a smooth texture that is easy to scoop and spread. Southernmost Bees uses creaming equipment to mechanically mix the honey while controlling the temperature as the texture develops.
The finished honey is already crystallized into fine crystals. It is designed to stay creamy instead of forming the large, hard crystals people sometimes find in a jar of liquid honey.
Are creamed honey and whipped honey the same?
Yes. Creamed honey, whipped honey, and spun honey are common names for the same style of smooth, spreadable honey.
The word whipped can be confusing. Creamed honey is not the same as whipped cream. It also is not automatically the same as honey butter, which may contain dairy butter. Check each flavored variety's label for its exact ingredients and allergens.
Is creamed honey the same as raw honey?
The words describe different things. Creamed describes the smooth texture created through controlled crystallization. Raw describes the honey before the creaming process.
Southernmost Bees begins with raw honey from its own apiary. The creaming process changes its texture through controlled crystallization, so the exact public wording is made from raw honey.
Which Southernmost Bees flavor should you try first?
Try Keezy Key Lime for a bright Florida Keys choice. Southernmost Bees describes it as a Florida Keys vacation in a jar.
Choose Cinn-Credible Ceylon Cinnamon for warm spice. It pairs well with toast, yogurt, fruit, coffee, and tea.
The online Creamed Honey collection also includes fruit, citrus, herb, tea, tropical, maple, and sweet-heat choices.

How do you use creamed honey?
Spread it on toast, biscuits, bagels, pancakes, or waffles. Add a spoonful to coffee, tea, oatmeal, or yogurt. Pair a fruit or spice flavor with cheese and crackers. Or eat it straight from the spoon.
Its smooth texture makes it easier to spread and less likely to run than liquid honey.
How should you store it?
Keep Southernmost Bees creamed honey tightly closed in a cool, dry place. It does not need refrigeration and has an incredibly long shelf life. For the best flavor and texture, Southernmost Bees recommends enjoying it within one year of purchase. Check each flavored product label for its specific ingredients and allergens.
Does Southernmost Bees ship?
Yes. Southernmost Bees ships to the lower 48 states and military mail addresses. The current shipping policy provides free shipping on orders over $50 to the lower 48 and APO, FPO, and DPO addresses. Orders to other United States destinations and territories are reviewed individually. Southernmost Bees does not ship internationally.
