How to store
To preserve the quality and beneficial properties of cotton honey, it is important to maintain proper storage conditions. Here are the basic recommendations for storing cotton honey:
Storage Location
- Dark place: Store honey in a dark place, away from direct sunlight. Light can destroy some of its beneficial substances and change the flavor and color of the honey.
- Constant temperature: Room temperature, between 20°C and 25°C, is ideal for storing honey. Avoid large temperature fluctuations, as this may cause the honey to crystallize.
Packing
- Airtight containers: Honey should be stored in airtight containers to prevent moisture and other external odors from altering its quality and flavor. Glass jars with tight-fitting lids are ideal.
- Packaging material: Glass or ceramic containers should be preferred as they do not react with honey and do not affect its flavor and properties. The use of metal containers is not recommended as they can oxidize.
Shelf life
- Long storage: Cotton honey, like other types of honey, can be stored for a very long time if the storage conditions are correct. Honey is a natural preservative due to its high sugar content and low moisture content, making it resistant to spoilage.
- Crystallization: Honey can crystallize over time. This is a normal process and does not indicate a spoiled product. To return honey to a liquid state, it can be gently heated in a bain-marie, taking care not to overheat.
Following these guidelines will help keep your cotton honey in perfect condition for a long time, allowing you to enjoy its health benefits and great taste.
