This raw, unfiltered honey is gently collected in a 16 oz jar with a honey dipper lid—made from sturdy and long-lasting stainless steel. If you’ve never used a honey dipper lid, it’s simple. Dip the lid into the honey jar, twist it to keep honey from dripping and then stop twisting to let drip onto toast or tea. No need to worry about the dipper falling in or storing a sticky dipper outside the jar, and the honey stays safely sealed when not in use.
