Liquid honey conservation advice
Raw honey lasts indefinitely! We recommend consuming it within two years of harvest.
However, liquid honey will crystallize over time to return to its natural crystallized form. This crystallization of honey is normal and natural, occurring in all unpasteurized honeys. It can happen within 4 to 8 weeks, depending on the type of honey.
How to decrystallize crystals in honey?
When your honey crystallizes, it is still very good! If the crystallized texture bothers you, there are a few solutions to bring it back to its liquid form.
Here is our preferred method:
In a saucepan, bring water to a gentle boil and place the jar of honey in the water until the honey gradually returns to its beautiful syrupy consistency.
To speed up the process, break up the solidified pieces of honey and stir it a few times with a spoon. That’s it!
Why doesn't my honey taste or look the same every year?
Most of our honeys are polyfloral, meaning they consist of a wide variety of nectars from different flowers. As a result, each flower is not equally represented in the honey from season to season, depending on the temperatures and humidity that influence the relative abundance of each species. Additionally, the flowers around each of our apiaries may vary in abundance, which can be reflected in the color and taste of the honey. Each season is unique in its aromatic complexity, allowing us to produce honey that is characteristic of its season and year. This is the richness of natural honey, where differences in color and taste are celebrated!
