HONEY: Not everyone knows that…
Crystallization is a natural process and can be a verification of its authenticity. There are they had which crystallize in a short time and honeys, less frequent, that are conserved in the liquid state for longer (acacia).
N.B: to taste the honey is recommended, for those who used it as a sweetener in the milk or other beverages, not to add it ever when they are hot, but only and always when they are drinkable, because too high a temperature subtracts honey most of its properties.
There are many types of miele, different for color, aroma and crystallization; the variety of honey depends on the source from which the nectar, from the production area and the weather changes.
The miele it keeps very well but it is important not to let it age too much to avoid losing its properties and organoleptic characteristics. The maximum recommended storage is two years.
My personal advice is to choose honey from just one flower, of those mentioned above.
Honey is like the morning sun, with all the grace of summer and the ancient cool of autumn.
It is the withered leaf and it is the wheat.
Oh divine liquor of humility, serene like a primitive verse!
