Store your honey right!

Storing honey is easy. Simply keep it in a cool location away from direct sunlight in a tightly covered container. Do not refrigerate.

If stored honey becomes cloudy, do not be alarmed. This is called crystallization. It is not harmful nor is it any indication of deterioration. In fact, honey has an indefinite shelf-life thanks to its high concentration of sugar. Raw honey with high pollen content will crystallize even faster, and cold temperatures also cause crystals. Crystallized honey is one of the many forms intentionally produced for purchase by many beekeepers.

If your honey crystallizes, you can easily re-liquefy it by gently heating the jar in a pan of hot water, stirring while heating. Do not overheat as heat may alter flavor, color and nutrients.
