Is Alvéole Honey Pasteurized or Raw?
All Alvéole honey is raw and unpasteurized. This means it retains its unique flavour and beneficial enzymes. This commitment to purity makes our honey a living, natural product that offers several advantages:
- Preserve nutrients: Raw honey preserves its natural enzymes, vitamins, and antioxidants, which can be diminished through pasteurization.
- Antibacterial Properties: The natural antibacterial properties of raw honey allow it to be stored indefinitely without spoiling.
Interesting fact: honey never goes bad!
Why Does My Alvéole Honey Crystallize?
Crystallization is a natural process in unpasteurized honey, influenced by:
- Glucose Content: Higher glucose levels lead to faster crystallization.
- Temperature: Cooler temperatures encourage crystallization.
- Particles: Tiny bits like pollen can act as starting points for crystallization.
How to Decrystallize Your Honey
If you prefer your honey in a liquid state, place the jar in a bowl of warm (not boiling) water. Let it sit until it returns to a smooth consistency.
Remember, crystallization doesn’t affect the quality or flavour of your honey at all. Enjoy your Alvéole honey, whether it's a delightful drizzle or a sweet crystal treat!
