Product Insights

This raw mesquite and wildflower honey from The Fresh Chile Company pairs the light profile of mesquite with wildflower accents for a robust blend that varies batch to batch with the Southern New Mexico bloom, reflecting a 110-year Mesilla Valley family lineage (a region keeping bees since the 16th century) and endorsed by cowboy cook Kent Rollins. It is 100% raw, coarsely strained to retain natural pollen, never pasteurized or fine-filtered, and mesquite crystallizes faster than most varietals—but a gentle 95–110°F bath restores it. Sealed honey keeps indefinitely at room temperature, and the 16-oz jar is filled by net weight, so headspace is normal. Buyers use it straight from the spoon, in baking (swap ¾ cup honey per cup of sugar, cut other liquid by ¼ cup), for grilled meats, roasted vegetables, cocktails, and pairings with chiles, dark chocolate, and whiskey. At about $0.62/oz, it is entry-level for mesquite—roughly half the price of raw Arizona honey—but the tradeoffs are occasional transit leaks (buyers advise plastic-bag packing) and inherent batch variation in flavor, aroma, and color.

The raw natural honey was amazing. I’ve already submitted another order. 

★★★★★Jeff

Exquisite! Very fast shipping and well packed.

Delicious!!

★★★★★Stacey Forsythe

I ordered this for the first time 2 weeks ago. It is delicious! I have had it on Sopapillas. I make a drink with lemon, lime, sea salt, spring water, and honey.

Raw Mesquite Honey packaging

★★★★★Katherine Dell

First, it leaked. It should be packed in a plastic bag should there be a catastrophic leak. I always do that when I ship honey and I ship plenty. Second, it was not filled to the fill line. Don't care what anybody says, the fill line is the top of the bottom ring. So, I was disappointed. I've not opened it to check the water content. It tastes very nice. I wonder why this page is not in English.

Off the chart honey.

★★★★★John Huntington

Great flavor. You have to try it.

★★★★★Jacob

Such a robust taste. So good I just put some on a spoon and eat it alone

★★★★★Joey Alcala

I tried the Raw, Mesquite & Wildflower Honey and I really enjoy the flavor. I usually add it to my coffee for sweetener, or add it to butter on toast. I order with my green chili and it all gets delivered to my house in Texas!! Love the Honey!!
