Organic forest honey Muria crystallization

Any honey is susceptible to physical and chemical changes over time if there is no proper storage. Forest honey tends to crystallize over time. Crystallization is easily reversible. Crystallization does not change the taste or quality of the honey but changes its appearance. The honey appears thickened and grainy. To reverse crystallization, just heat the forest  honey Muria jar with hot water up to 40ºC and the grannules will dissolve. Then cool the honey as quickly as possible and the artisan forest honey Muria will be as good as when it was collected.
