Preserving honey

Storing honey is simple but essential to maintaining its quality and properties. Honey is a naturally stable food thanks to its low water content and the presence of antibacterial substances. If stored properly, it can last a long time without deteriorating.

It's important to store honey in a dry place, away from heat and direct light. The ideal temperature is between 10 and 20 degrees Celsius. It shouldn't be stored in the refrigerator, as the cold accelerates crystallization.

As regards the expiration date of honey , the law requires the indication of a minimum shelf life, but in reality honey, if pure and well preserved, can remain edible for years.

Quality honey doesn't lose its main characteristics over time, even if its consistency or color may change. Storing honey properly means preserving an extraordinary natural food.
