Description of taste

Harvested in mid-August, buckwheat honey is ideal for lovers of strong honey. Made from buckwheat flowers, its typical aromas are reminiscent of buckwheat flour and its animal notes transport you to a memorable visit to the farm. Rich in minerals, this honey also has multiple benefits. It goes wonderfully with lunch, as well as when cooking honey desserts.

The texture of classic honey is dependent on an entirely natural phenomenon: crystallization. When potted, all honeys are liquid. Over time, crystals develop that change their texture. In order to restore its liquid texture, classic honey is lightly heated at low temperature, but never pasteurized. It will therefore crystallize in the more or less near future, crystallization being a natural phenomenon in all unpasteurized honeys.

Above all, you should not think that crystallized honey is wasted! With a little stirring, it still blends very well with other ingredients. In order to liquefy the honey, it must be gently heated in a water bath. It is important to never heat honey in the microwave. Attention! The water in the pan should not boil, but simmer slightly.

Liquid

Store your jar of honey in a cupboard, away from light, even if it has been opened. As honey has natural antibiotics, it is a very stable food. After a while it can have transformations (phase transformations). If it was liquid, the honey can become more solid. The appearance will change, the taste may alter. We will therefore no longer have the same taste with honey that has been opened for a very long time, however it is still “consumable.

Expiration

Honey keeps forever! We recommend consuming it within 2 years of harvest. Like any food, honey is a commodity whose nutrients it is essential to preserve. These are the ideal conditions for optimal conservation.
