Raw & unfiltered honey will eventually turn solid – that’s a simple fact of life. But that doesn’t mean your bottle’s days are numbered. Crystallized honey is usually light yellow or white, with a consistency somewhere between that of peanut butter and granite, depending on how long it’s been...

Right off the bat, let us say this: the best thing about local honey is that each one naturally has a unique flavor because of the mix of pollens and nectars inside.
