Fermented Organic Raw Heather Honey

Raw Heather Honey at the early stage of natural fermenting. Suitable for making MEAD*. 

Heather honey naturally has a higher water content than all other types of honey, and this moisture makes all honey susceptible to fermentation. With Heather honey, the risk of fermentation is even greater — a fact of honey life! Even at room temperature, honey can ferment.

*Mead, an alcoholic drink, is made by fermenting honey with water, sometimes with fruits, and spices. The defining characteristic of mead is that the main source of its fermentable sugar comes from honey.

Notes & Tips:

• Storage: heather honey should be stored in refrigerator. Always ensure the lid is secured tightly.
• Crystallization: raw honey crystallizes over time, and it is a natural process. Honey thickens and changes its state - it hardens and becomes grainy. Different types of honey crystallize differently. Some types of honey become very grainy and form larger crystals. Changes in color and structure (crystallization) are signs of raw, unpasteurized, and unprocessed honey.
• Frosting: another sign of raw and unprocessed honey is frosting. It usually looks like a small white streak or crescent that gradually spreads on the shoulder of the jar. These white areas are tiny air bubbles that get trapped between honey and the side or shoulder of the jar. Frosting and crystallization are natural features of honey, and they don't impact the taste or the quality.
• Consistency: if you prefer softer, more liquid honey, you can gently warm it by putting the jar in hot water. Warming will liquefy the crystallized honey. Avoid exposing honey to temperatures over 45°C, because higher temperatures may destroy part of the natural nutrients. Please make sure the jar is closed correctly to ensure no water contaminates the honey.
• Colour changes: please know that raw honey can vary in colour and taste from batch to batch - honey changes with the season and climate and depending on what the bees feed on.
• Packaging: our honey is available in recyclable glass and plastic jars of various sizes. The plastic jars are made of BPA-free high-quality shatterproof plastic.
• Safety Information: honey is inappropriate for children under the age of one year.
• Product photos and videos are representative. Honey colour and texture may vary depending on the season and level of crystallisation.
