Raw lavender honey storage

One of the greatest things about honey is that it doesn't spoil. Honey does not need preservatives and additives to have a long life. For legal and commercial reasons the honey we buy comes with a certain shelf life. Store the raw lavender honey Bona Mel a steady temperature. Keep the honey on a dry place and away from heat sources and from the sun light. Proper storage will guarantee that the quality and taste of the raw lavender honey Bona Mel is at its peak.

Any honey is susceptible to physical and chemical changes over time if there is no proper storage. Organic raw lavender 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 honey jar with hot water up to 40ºC and the grannules will dissolve. Then cool the honey as quickly as possible and honey will be as good as when it was collected.
