"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.

agree  philgoddard: I'm not sure if it's a specific grading standard, or just a marketing term.
1 hr
  -> Thanks Phil! I would assume it's a generic marketing term, but Paul (the Asker) will know anyway.

agree  Marge Hogarty: You should check with the nournours des gobelins? Vous le connaissez?
5 hrs
  -> 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)

agree  Saeed Najmi: Done a bit of search. Seems more like a marketing term. Examples posted in the discussion section.

agree  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
22 hrs
  -> 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.
