The UK's only legally labelled RAW honey
We’re delighted to announce that Odysea is now the only honey in the UK that can legally be labelled as Raw!
Our award-winning honey came under fire from Trading Standards when they sought to ban the sale of Odysea honey as ‘raw’.
We’ve proudly sold our range of raw honey in the UK for more than 20 years and decided we had to defend it and our small team of producers in Greece, which meant taking the bold step to take our case to tribunal.
In February 2024, Judge Neville ruled in our favour, and our delicious honey can now carry its raw label with pride.
There has been a buzz about this historic tribunal, with press coverage in The Guardian, The Grocer, and Financial Times. You can read the judge’s full report in the link below which details his reasons for ruling in our favour, including his now famous reference to Winnie-the-Pooh.
