Raw Yemeni Sidr Honey — Wild Harvested in Hadramout
This is single-origin Sidr honey in its purest form: harvested by hand from wild Sidr trees (Ziziphus spina-christi) in the remote valleys of Hadramout, Yemen, and poured raw into the jar. Never heated, never filtered, never blended. Nothing added, nothing taken away.
The Sidr tree grows uncultivated in Yemen’s mountain valleys, far from farmland, sprays and machinery. Beekeepers harvest the honey using traditional methods passed down through generations — simple tools, a little smoke, and patience. Because the trees flower only briefly each year and yields are small, genuine Yemeni Sidr remains one of the rarest and most sought-after honeys in the world.
What to expect from the jar
- Taste: rich, deep and complex — notes of caramel and butterscotch with a long, warming finish. Distinctly different from any supermarket honey.
- Aroma: unmistakable. The potent, floral-earthy scent of Sidr blossom hits you the moment you open the jar.
- Texture: thick and luxurious. Raw Sidr honey may crystallise slightly over time — this is a natural sign of pure, minimally processed honey, not a fault.
- Colour: deep amber, varying slightly by harvest and season, because real single-harvest honey is never identical batch to batch.

How to enjoy it

Frequently asked questions
Is this honey really from Yemen?
Yes. Our Sidr honey is harvested in the valleys of Hadramout, Yemen, and imported through suppliers who work directly with local beekeeping families. We’ve sourced from the same trusted network for years.
Why is Yemeni Sidr honey so expensive?
The Sidr tree flowers for only a short window each year, grows wild in remote areas, and is harvested entirely by hand in small quantities. Limited supply and high global demand make genuine Sidr one of the world’s most valuable honeys.
My honey has started to crystallise — is that normal?
Yes, and it’s actually a good sign. Raw, unheated honey crystallises naturally over time. To return it to liquid, stand the jar in warm water — never microwave it.
How can I tell it’s genuine?
Genuine Sidr has a powerful distinctive aroma, a thick texture and a complex caramel-like taste that fake or blended honey can’t replicate. Read our full guide: How to Spot Fake Sidr Honey.
How does Sidr compare to Manuka honey?
Both are premium raw honeys, but they differ in taste, grading and origin. See our full comparison: Yemeni Sidr Honey vs Manuka: Which is the World’s Best?
