🍯 Crystallised honey ❄️

During the cooler winter months it's common for pure honey to turn from liquid to a semi-solid state - otherwise known as candied or crystallised honey. This is a completely natural process that does not alter the taste or nutrition of the honey in any way, and in fact it's a sign of pure 100% honey!

We find the luscious and grainy texture adds something interesting and wonderful. If you prefer your honey in the liquid state we recommend placing your jar or bottle (lid on!) in a bowl of hot water and letting it slowly warm up.

We definitely don't recommend microwaving, as it can overheat the honey and doesn’t heat evenly.
