Care, Cleaning & Maintenance

• Storage: Keep the bottle at room temperature in a dry pantry away from direct sunlight. Do not refrigerate, as cold temperatures accelerate crystallization.

• Crystallization Rescue: If the honey hardens over time (a completely natural process for pure honey), simply place the glass bottle in a bowl of warm water or gently microwave it in short bursts until it returns to a smooth, pourable liquid.

• Purity Notes: You may notice small natural specs inside the bottle—this is an indicator of high-quality, unfiltered raw honey and is perfectly safe to consume.
