Honey’s antimicrobial quality is measured by the term “Total Activity (TA)”. The higher the TA score the greater the antimicrobial strength.
Most unpasteurised and coarse filtered ("raw") honey types possess some activity level, usually on a scale from 1 to 20. Honeys with Total Activity over 10+ are considered to have substantial antimicrobial properties.
The test results for this batch of honey can be found here.
I could say this about any of the black bee honey, it's great honey. Simply that, each one is different in taste but simply and elegantly described in the tasting notes on the jars. Me, I love the variety they offer, as I cook with them more than I do drizzled over porridge or spread on toast. But they would work just as weak here too.

Love this honey
Bought in a food festival in Bath - it’s just so creamy. Daft to say, given this is honey after all, but it doesn’t seem excessively sweet (like so much supermarket honey is). Perfectly set. Tastes amazing on sourdough toast. Just finished the first jar so ordered two more. Perfect.

Delicious honey: on the spoon, on toast, in cooking. Ordered on-line, well packed & quickly delivered.

Spring Honey
A wonderful smooth slightly firmer textured honey. Great for eating off the spoon a real subtle taste of spring. Excellent, I love the idea that this is all British honey well done guys.

Having discovered the delights of Spring honey during a recent trip to northern Denmark I came home determined to find a UK equivalent. This is slightly sweeter and more compact than the Danish equivalent but still light and far superior to the supermarket brands that turned me off honey some 30 years ago. Will certainly buy again!
