MOUNTAIN RIDGEHoney, Pure Raw Organic Honey, 22 OuncesUSDA Organic

The honey arrived on time and was well packed. It has a beautiful rich dark color. A thick consistency and it tastes delicious. I'm using it in my herbal tea as I write this. Thank you so much.

I've bought more and given a jar as a gift to my sister, as it's some of the best-tasting raw honey I've had. It sweetens hot tea wonderfully, and it doesn't sugar as fast as most raw honeys, which is plus to me.

Terrific with the exception of the plastic container. Nice flavor.

Very pleasent taste

Deceptive for TWO reasons: First, I bought this because I was familiar with Mountain Ridge as a North Carolina company (where I live). Also because it appeared to be in a GLASS MASON JAR -- It is not glass but PLASTIC with MASON embossed on the plastic. I searched online to see if I could find plastic mason jars and I could not. I do not buy honey in plastic. This container was labeled "1" meaning: #1 – PET or PETE (polyethylene terephthalate) - PET is used for water and soft drink bottles, mouthwash bottles, containers for condiments like nut butters and ketchup, and TV dinner trays. It is usually downcycled into carpet fibers, fleece jackets, and sometimes new containers. PET is considered safe, but evidence shows it can actually leach the toxic metal antimony, which is used during its manufacture. One study looked at 63 brands of bottled water produced in Europe and Canada and found concentrations of antimony that were more than 100 times the typical level found in clean groundwater (2 parts per trillion). The study also found that the longer a PET bottle sits on the shelf—in a grocery store or in your pantry—the greater the amount of antimony present. It is also thought that the amount of antimony leaching from these PET bottles increases the more they are exposed to sunlight and heat.Brominated compounds have also been found to leach into PET bottles. Bromine displaces iodine in the body, and is a central nervous system depressant. It can accumulate over time, and trigger health problems.

The answer is, I would not have bought this product if those things were known to me from the listing. So DECEPTIVE PRACTICE. I will write about this on Facebook as well to let all my NC readers know. How sad that what was once a fine company would resort to such despicable underhanded practices.

I've bought this a few times. Always consistent. Always delicious. And remarkably it doesn't turn to sugar like so much honey does.

Many of my reviews are long and detailed. I will keep this one short. The flavor of the honey is very good. Consistency is satisfactory----not too thin or too thick. I would have rated it higher than a 3, but one of the primary reasons I ordered it is because they clearly stated that it comes in a glass jar. It's not glass. It's plastic. And the metal lid doesn't fit it well----hard to put the lid back on, cross threads, is too tight. For various reasons, I ordered this because I wanted glass. Claiming the jar is glass is either a lie or an oversight, and I'm certainly leaning toward lie because at this point, there is no reason why the listing should continue to claim the jar is glass. They apparently know that they are baiting people with that claim, which is right in the headline. I wish Amazon could do something to force deceptive advertisers to correct their ads or be banned from selling. This was/is a major disappointment to have received something not worth the price. If the seller is dishonest about what the container is made of, who's to say they aren't being dishonest about what's in the container? Avoid this.

This honey is amazing. I will not get into the characteristics as if I am doing a wine review. LOL. The honey is sweet, fragrant, and does not have any sort of chemical aftertaste such as mosquito repellent that seemingly become part of the honey because of industrial sprays used during mosquito season. Some honey becomes bitter when the hives are in the city and the massive sprayers come along. You can taste that. This honey is exceptional quality. It was so worth the purchase.
