Nature Nates Unfiltered Certified Wholesome Reviews Summary

Bottle Design

Pros:

• "The bottle is well made and pours honey perfectly, no mess whatsoever."
• "No more stickiness to deal with. Instead of just leaving an open hole to squeeze the honey through, they engineered this bottle so well with a nipple-like structure that only opens when the bottle is squeezed."
• "The lid of this bottle went the extra mile in design."
• "I love the pour spout that doesn’t allow the honey to run down the bottle - making a sticky mess!"
• "No-mess squeeze top - the opening is only open when you are actively squeezing: it closes completely when you release pressure."
• "The updated bottle spout doesn't drip and completely seals after it comes out!! It's like magic."
• "Arrived in a cardboard container undamaged and had a seal under the lid. Easy peasy squeezy no drip nozzle."

Cons:

• "Like many others my cap was cracked."
• "The bottle cap is love/hate thing. I love the little valve built into the cap to prevent spilling honey."
• "It is so thin that you’re sure to spill it on the table before turning the bottle upright after using."
• "The honey consistency is too light and more runnier."
• "They changed the pour spout and made the opening bigger. When you pour the honey out, so much pours out it's a mess and you waste a lot."
• "The bottle is hard to squeeze out of the top. Most times I just unscrew the lid and pour, but then I get too much."
• "This order was shipped with a flaw in the lid and leaking honey made a mess."

Flavor and Consistency

Pros:

• "I like the caramel-y, deep flavor of Nate’s unfiltered compared to the usual honey in the prepackaged or honey bear bottles."
• "The flavor is rich, and unique. Nature Nate's Pure Raw Honey goes well with sweet and savory dishes."
• "This honey has a strong rich flavor."
• "The honey has a great flavor."
• "This honey tastes very good."
• "This honey has a wonderful flavor and the container last a long time."
• "The honey is a nice amber color, rich and bold taste, but still neutral enough to use for lots of things."

Cons:

• "It’s been months that its frozen in room temperature, they claim its pure honey, but pure honey doesn’t get frozen in room temperature."
• "The honey consistency is too light and more runnier."
• "This blend or batch is almost thin as water & with little flavor."
• "The taste is just horrible. It ruined my tea."
• "The taste of this honey is not the best I've had, but I do like honey in my tea."
• "This honey doesn't even taste like honey, and doesn't look like pure honey, either."
• "It definitely has an off taste, so probably a fermentation issue."

Crystallization and Freshness

Pros:

• "Nature Nate's is the first and ONLY honey in my experience that just doesn't do that."
• "Raw honey will crystallize, so that is a plus for me."
• "It’s a good consistency to be easily squeezed into the tea then the hot water goes over it and mixes in with the tea very well."
• "We know that honey crystalizes when it's older, but it is still useable and good, you just have to heat it up in hot water a little to get rid of the crystals."
• "I use a lot of honey so I understand that real raw honey crystallizes."
• "I took the suggestion from another reviewer and immediately upon arrival I emptied the honey into a mason jar for storage."
• "Very well sealed and have been using it ever since."

Cons:

• "However I've notice the honey once open up it Crystallizes really fast."
• "Also, the honey is hard as a rock and will not pour out of the bottle."
• "After opening it completely coagulated in a couple weeks."
• "If they are left unopened and unused for more than a few months the 'honey' crystallizes and turns into an unusable block of gooey sugar in the container."
• "This honey may or may not combat local allergies, but no doubt it is excellent at fighting inflammation, serving as an antibacterial agent and promoting a strong immune system."
• "This stuff was as thick as glue. Tried warming in water and heating. Only became globby and still would clog up trying to dispense."
• "The honey started to crystallize immediately after opening the first bottle."

Value and Price

Pros:

• "In the grocery store we paid twice as much for the same exact product and same exact size."
• "At this price point I was not expecting much but once I tasted the honey and realized that it was the real deal and it tasted amazing I was instantly hooked."
• "This honey is a pretty big size which I think is a pretty good value."
• "A great bang for the buck, this same bottle of Honey in my local Hannaford is almost $25 and doesn't even look as good as this one."
• "Definitely worth the price."
• "Great value for this amount of honey."
• "It’s still way cheaper here than at my grocery store for the exact brand and size as well."

Cons:

• "I do not recommend this honey at all. 1 month after purchasing it and its hard and does not flow."
• "I am requesting a refund for the two bottles that were not sealed."
• "The seller started using smaller containers (for the same price as larger previous containers, of course). Now the honey turns to a solid crusty mess as soon as you unseal the jar, making it impossible to pour."
• "It turns out that the 32 oz bottle only had about 22 ounces in it. 10 ounces less than the label indicates!!!! That is false labeling."
• "Had to update this because when I went to purchase more I found that they (Nate's) have raised their price from $9.18 to $10.63 for this item, making it $0.33/ounce."
• "The 32oz bottle of honey was delivered on October 21, 2023. I finished my previous bottle today and When I opened new bottle it was solid all the way to bottom. Wondering how long it's been in a warehouse. Tried to return but it isn't eligible."
• "How am I suppose to use 'EAT' that? Received crystallized as seen in photos!"

Company and Customer Service

Pros:

• "Another thing I like is the companies Christian values, it is nice to see companies who believe in such values now a days."
• "I contacted the company and they said it was still good but they said they would still send a coupon for a free replacement which I thought was pretty nice of them."
• "Nates reached out to me and they are replacing the four bottles of honey and sending a free T-Shirt."
• "When I contacted the company, they immediately offered to send me a replacement cap. Great customer service."
• "Also the service was great. My last multiple piece order came damaged, box must’ve come open. It was re taped but my honey wasn’t in it. They sent out another at no charge."

Cons:

• "I am not sure why some people think this honey is not real. It says right on the label, UNFILTERED which means because of the glucose, it WILL crystallize."
• "I emailed Nate's and they NEVER responded, although they say on their label they care about customers."
• "This company has multiple lawsuits for misleading branding as this is not what raw honey even looks like."
• "I love the product but the delivery sucked. Package was left on the side of the road leaned against our fence which is near our mail box and no where near the front door on our property."
• "I ordered this several weeks ago but didn't open the box until today only to discover it is NOT crystallized RAW honey but as my subject line reads it is corrupted with corn syrup."
