Frequently Asked Questions

Honey and Hive Products

Is Rokotla honey pure?

Yes. Rokotla Raw Honey is 100% pure honey, with no added sugar, flavourants or preservatives.

What honey varieties do you offer?

Our main varieties include Aloe, Sunflower and Multiflora Raw Honey. Other varieties may be available from time to time, depending on the season, floral source and harvest.

Why does honey vary in colour, taste and consistency?

Honey is a natural product. Its colour, flavour, aroma and consistency are influenced by the floral source, season and location of the apiary. Natural variations may therefore occur between different varieties and harvests.

Does raw honey crystallise?

Yes. Crystallisation is a natural process and does not mean that the honey has spoiled. To return crystallised honey to liquid form, gently warm the jar in warm water.

How should I store my honey?

Keep your honey tightly sealed at room temperature in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and excessive heat.

At what age can children have honey?

Rokotla recommends introducing honey to children from 3 years of age. Honey should never be given to children under 12 months due to the risk of infant botulism.
