Show me the honey
Enjoy unique flavors, from one jar to the next, influenced by what local bees forage on throughout the year. You might have two different flavors of honey in your purchase and can experience the noteworthy differences that come from the variety of flower nectar or the time of year. Appreciate high-quality tastes which don't come from the plastic bears lining supermarket shelves.
Your order may include different colored honey if you ordered more than one jar. This indicates that your honey may come from different times of the year and different flowers. Honey color ranges from nearly colorless to dark brown and its flavor varies from delectably mild to distinctively bold depending on where the bees buzzed. As a general rule, light-colored honey is milder in taste and dark-colored honey is stronger.
Honey crystallization is perfectly normal. The crystallization process is a natural occurrence that will eventually happen in all real, raw honey and make it appear more solid and change the color. Many things affect crystallization including the flower type, amount of pollen grains in the honey, and the storage temperature. Bees forage nectar from different flowers at different times of the year. Some types of flower nectar crystalize faster due to a higher concentration of glucose.
Additionally, raw honey has more grains of pollen, bits of propolis, and beeswax in it than store bought honey. These naturally occurring solids will lead to faster crystallization. Finally, the temperature honey is stored at will also affect the rate of crystallization. Honey stored at 70F or above will crystalize slower. If your honey crystallizes over time do not fret. Real, raw honey never goes bad or expires. Some people enjoy crystallized honey as a spread. However, if you would like to restore your honey to its previous smooth texture, place the sealed container in a hot (not boiling) water bath and wait approximately 30 minutes.
