STORING HONEY

Honey is best stored in a covered container in a dry place at room temperature. If exposed to air, honey tends to lose its flavour and absorb moisture. Honey kept for some time tends to become darker in colour but will still be good. It may also crystallise if kept at too cool a temperature. However, this does not affect the quality of the honey. In fact crystallisation will occur more readily in a pure and better quality honey. Sometimes a white layer will form on top of the crystallised honey as tiny air bubbles are squeezed onto the surface. Crystallisation can easily be remedied by placing the container in warm water (not boiling) until the crystals disappear.
