But what IS creamed honey, anyway?
Raw honey (which is the only way we sell it), comes right from the beehive. But before bottling raw honey, we strain it to remove any major impurities like beeswax. That's it! Over time, raw honey will naturally start to solidify (crystallize). The honey crystals will make your honey thick and grainy, but it is safe to eat and can easily be liquified again and again by setting your honey container in a bath of hot (not boiling) water. Don't microwave it! Microwaves tend to destroy the natural enzymes and healthy properties of honey. Honey is the ONLY food product that will never spoil.
Now for the creamed honey! We take the raw honey and put it through a week-long process of stirring the honey and keeping it at a temperature of 55 degrees. This process interferes with the natural crystallization (mentioned above), and allows us to control the size of the crystals. The smaller the crystals, the smoother and creamier the texture of the honey. Creamed honey has a smooth, sumptuous texture that is perfect as a spread but also preserves the goodness of raw honey. Nothing has been added to the honey (other than natural, organic ingredients in our flavored honeys), it is just a process of making smaller crystals. Creamed honey will never crystallize (because it is already crystallized!), but if left in high temperatures it will quickly revert back to liquid honey. You do not need to keep your creamed honey in the refrigerator, room temperature is perfect.
Enjoy it on a piece of fresh bread, in a cup of tea, a bowl of oatmeal, or just on a spoon. We promise, we won't tell!
