Raw Strained Honey - 5 Gallon Bucket
Five gallons of raw South Carolina honey — strained, never filtered or pasteurized — in a sealed food-grade bucket. This is the commercial and serious-bulk size: enough to bottle from, cook and bake at volume, or split among a group, all from one local source.
Features
- 5 gallons of raw South Carolina honey
- Raw and strained, not filtered
- Never pasteurized
- Food-grade plastic bucket
- Removable lid fitted with a Rieke pour spout
- Rubber gasket seal around the lid to prevent leaks
How it works
The bucket is built for handling honey at volume — the sealed lid and Rieke spout let you pour or decant without prying the whole lid off every time. Most buyers use it to refill retail bottles and jars, or as a baking and production supply. As raw honey, it carries the color and flavor of the season it was harvested and will crystallize over time.
Before you order
Sold as a single 5-gallon bucket, by volume. This is a heavy item — a full bucket of honey is substantial to lift and move, so plan to decant rather than pour from the full bucket by hand. Raw honey crystallizes naturally; at this size, warm and decant smaller amounts as needed rather than heating the whole bucket. Store at room temperature.
