Raw honey is a catch phrase that has no official, sanctioned, blessed
by the Pope (or at least USDA) meaning.
 
It's inferred meaning is "minimally processed" as in not heated,
filtered, blended etc, etc.  I doubt any honey sold as raw is straight
from the extractor.  I may be able to sell straight from the extractor
honey once to a blind man, but I doubt I would get repeat sales.  I
like the term raw honey and have a label that reads "RAW and UNPROCESSED"
which I tell my customers means that the honey was passed through a nylon
filter to remove wax particles and foreign debris but was not processed
further.
