ordera proud-Pakistani brand
Pure, raw, unprocessed honey, collected from the finest orchards of Pakistan. Noush e jaan - may it nourish your soul.
the name
We're a proud Pakistani brand promoting a lifestyle that takes us Back to Nature to Nurture
Everything is collected here, from orchards and wild hillsides across Pakistan, by beekeepers who have been reading these seasons far longer than we have. It says proud pakistani around the lid because that is the whole point of the company.
This land loves us, may we learn to love it.
the harvests
Each one gets its own name, its own tab and its own colour, so you can tell them apart across a shelf or across a room. Local name first, because that is what it is actually called.
Produced by bees from the blossoms of olive trees, so it carries all the properties of its parent plant. The natural brain tonic.
Take it tonight in warm water. Tell us how you sleep after seven days.

Pomegranate blossom, and the reddest tab on the shelf. It shifts with the fruit, so ask us what the current batch tastes like.
1100 200g 1990 420g
The gentlest jar we make, and the one we hand to people who normally find honey too much.
750 200g 1400 420g
The fruit of Paradise, in the form of liquid gold.
1100 200g 1990 420g
The jujube blossom honey, and the one people come looking for by name. Dense, dark and slow - the second rarest thing on this list.
Ask us before you plan around it. Sidr comes in narrow windows.
1400 200g 2800 420g
A superfood with medicinal properties that outweigh all other raw honey, packed with double the strength and a higher concentration of:
One small hive, extremely difficult to reach. Very limited stock, for a very limited period.
1700 200g 3200 420g
From the finest, most beautious bees, mostly from our North. Bright and orange-blossom clean. Pure, raw, unprocessed - made in Pakistan.
750 200g 1400 420g
Worked off the mustard fields, which is about as Punjabi as a honey can get. Sets fast and pale, and spreads like butter once it does.
750 200g 1400 420g
Prices in PKR, as last posted. Every variety is subject to availability - when a season ends, that jar is simply gone until next year.
the sizes
We call our sizes Khurd, Darmyani and Kaalan - small, medium and large, respectively - and yes, we made them do a catwalk.
New season, new clothes. Same old Asal.
asal mini
Your secret best friend between heavy Eid dawats. A pocket jar built to be carried - into offices, onto flights, into the third dinner invitation of the week. Best taken with a cup of kahva, or directly in a spoon.
Filled from whichever harvest is in season, so the coloured tab on the lid is how you know what you are carrying. Ask us which ones are in MINI this week.
how you know it's raw
Raw, pure honey has a thick texture that settles at the bottom of the cup it is poured into, instead of dispersing straight away.
The purest form of honey doesn't dissolve in water unless you stir it. Drop it in and watch it sit there.
It will always have wax in it. If it doesn't, it isn't raw. Asal - a golden drop of Heaven, as pure as it can get.
the honey shot
A little itch in the throat,
or a tickle in the nose,
just a cosy cup of tea
with some Honey, is the key!
May our cups be as unique as our personalities. All different, all lovely, all coming together for a daily dose of wellness - because we do this every day.
gifting
Every Ramadan we put the jars down for a while and go talk to the other small businesses around us. What comes out of it is a bespoke basket - the Crescent Care Basket, and the Blessed Bundle of sweets and scents, with a vibrant combination of gerberas and chrysanthemums.
Baskets are made to order and change every year with whoever we are working with. Message us with roughly what you want to spend and who it is for.
فوائد · benefits
The benefit cards as we post them, laid over the miniature paintings this part of the world has been making for four hundred years.

✤ each variety is subject to availability · Asal MINI is priced on ask, because it is filled from whatever is in season
Variety, size and how many. If you are not sure, say what it is for - a gift, a gut-health run, a child who won't take medicine - and we will pick for you.
We will tell you what is on the shelf this week, what the current price is, and what is finished for the season. Nothing is auto-confirmed.
Give us the city and address. We will quote delivery, or tell you if it is easier to collect from a stockist near you.
Jars go out wrapped. If anything arrives less than perfect, message us and we will make it right.
No - it is proof. Raw honey granulates; processed honey is heated so it never does. Stand the jar in warm water and it comes back. Never boil it, and never microwave it: heat destroys the exact enzymes you paid for.
That is wax, and it should be there. It will always have wax in it - if it doesn't, it isn't raw.
Cupboard, lid on, away from direct sun. Not the fridge - cold pushes it to granulate faster. Use a dry spoon; water introduced into the jar is the one thing that will actually spoil honey.
Effectively indefinitely, kept dry. It will change colour and thickness over time. That is age, not spoilage.
Keekar if you find honey too sweet, or you are watching sugar. Zeytoon if you want it for sleep and nerves. Dwarf Bee if you want the strongest thing we have and don't mind waiting for the season.
As per Muslim traditions, giving a lick of raw honey is the best way to activate the immune system in a baby.
We are already on a few shelves. Message us with what you have in mind and we will talk it through properly.
You can find our extraordinary collection exclusively at all branches of Baked, Lahore and Islamabad.
