comb honey

Unprocessed apiary product

Comb honey is honey sold still in the wax comb where bees stored it, rather than extracted and bottled.

The whole thing is edible—you chew the waxy cells along with the honey inside.

It's considered a delicacy, less processed than liquid honey: We spread comb honey on warm bread.
