All Alvéole honey is raw and unpasteurized, preserving its unique flavor and beneficial enzymes. This living, natural product can be stored indefinitely due to its antibacterial properties.
Pasteurization, which involves heating at high temperatures to destroy pathogens and extend shelf life, is commonly used for aesthetic purposes in honey to slow crystallization. However, it diminishes honey’s natural flavors and beneficial characteristics, which is why Alvéole leaves it in its pure, raw state.
