Why does honey crystallise

Liquid or clear honey

What we are all familiar with


Liquid honey will crystalise over time and the speed of crystallisation depends on the sugar mix from the nectar gathered. Different sugars* set at different rates and different crystal structures


When honey crystallises relatively it's a good a good indicator or the honeys purity; some honeys can take over a year to crystalise, one such honey is from European Lime trees which makes a honey with a slightly minty tangy taste




*Sucrose, Glucose & Fructose

All honeys gradually crystalise over time. 


Crystallised  honey is perfectly edible and dissolves  in hot drinks


Honey left to naturally crystalise usually has a very course texture, almost gritty in texture. Some  enjoy this as it can be seen as an indicator of the honeys purity


Honey can sometimes separate out where the bottom of the jar as it crystallises with the top staying liquid. This is due to the nectar collected by the bees being from different plants and containing a different different sugar type to the crystallised. Glucose usually sets quicker than fructose

 

Soft-set

Soft-set honey is, we feel, superior to liquid. 


Soft-set honey has a fine texture and is spreadable and perfect on toast; it's also good for hot drinks as it readily dissolves and does not drip of the spoon when transferring it

Whilst frosting looks unsightly it forms when a slight gap has formed between the honey and the glass. This causes the same crystal pattern you find on the surface of the set honey and is perfectly fine to eat
