Properties of Raw Honey

Store honey at room temperature – your kitchen counter or pantry shelf is ideal. Storing honey in the refrigerator accelerates the honey’s crystallization. Crystallization is the natural process of glucose sugar molecules aligning into orderly arrangements known as crystals.

Unpasteurized honey will granulate over time, especially when kept in cool or cold places. To increase its shelf life, consider storing honey in a warm location such as in an interior kitchen cupboard near or over the stove. If it does granulate, screw cap tight and put it into hot water (not boiling).

Honey will never go bad, it will however, eventually crystallize. First turning cloudy, then forming granular crystals of sugar. Raw honey will crystallize more rapidly than commercially bottled honey. … Honey can be stored unopened, indefinitely, at room temperature in a dry cupboard.
