Premium honey
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honey#Grading
"Countries have differing standards for grading honey."

"Fine honey" (compare with the term "fine wine") seems to be a term that's used too, and it's possibly a better fit than "Premium honey", depending on the wider context and the aims of the marketing.

: I'm not sure if it's a specific grading standard, or just a marketing term.

Thanks Phil! I would assume it's a generic marketing term, but Paul (the Asker) will know anyway.

Thanks Marge! I didn't really know about those big teddy bears before now, but I love the cute and the surreal sides to them in photos! / "Beekeeper says bears prefer premium honey" (real quote off the internet)

Dominique Stiver
: I was trying to find a better solution but I must admit I can't find I would have preferred "Premium-quality" but it is not needed in English

Thanks Dominique! None of the synonyms of premium really seem to fit, except for "fine", which I prefer now. Honey is pretty much a unique substance.
