A clear and transparent label inspires confidence and provides information about where the product comes from. <\/p><p>It is also advisable to choose minimally processed honey to preserve its natural characteristics and aromatic profile.<\/p><h2>Crystallisation is not a defect<\/h2><p>Crystallisation is a completely natural process that depends on the balance between glucose and fructose, as well as the storage temperature.<\/p><p>Many high-quality honeys crystallise over time, so this change in texture should not be interpreted as a loss of quality.<\/p><h2>The aroma and flavour of authentic honey<\/h2><p>The aroma should be complex and characteristic of the flowers from which the honey originates.<\/p><p>Authentic honey does not simply taste sweet. It develops floral, herbal, fruity, balsamic or woody notes that linger on the palate.<\/p><p>Texture also varies between varieties and does not determine the quality of the product on its own.<\/p><h2>How to store honey<\/h2><p>Honey should be stored in a cool, dry place away from direct light.<\/p><p>It is not advisable to keep it in the refrigerator, as low temperatures speed up crystallisation without offering any storage benefits.<\/p><p>If it crystallizes, it can regain a more fluid consistency by gently warming it in a bain-marie, avoiding high temperatures.<\/p><h2>Much more than a natural sweetener<\/h2><p>Honey is much more than a sweetener. It is the result of the work of thousands of bees and the botanical richness of each region. <\/p><p>Choosing high-quality honey means choosing a food with its own identity, traceability and distinctive character.<\/p><p>Considering its origin, accepting crystallisation as a natural process and enjoying the nuances offered by each flowering season are the best ways to recognise authentic honey.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-10f07b1 imagegallery elementor-section-full_width elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"10f07b1\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-83c973d\" data-id=\"83c973d\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-dfaa44c elementor-pagination-position-outside elementor-hidden-mobile ystan-slides-escritorio elementor--h-position-center elementor--v-position-middle elementor-arrows-position-inside elementor-widget elementor-widget-slides\" data-id=\"dfaa44c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;navigation&quot;:&quot;both&quot;,&quot;autoplay&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;pause_on_hover&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;autoplay_speed&quot;:5000,&quot;infinite&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;transition&quot;:&quot;slide&quot;,&quot;transition_speed&quot;:500}\" data-widget_type=\"slides.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-swiper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-slides-wrapper elementor-main-swiper swiper\" role=\"region\" aria-roledescription=\"carousel\" aria-label=\"Slides\" dir=\"ltr\" data-animation=\"\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"swiper-wrapper elementor-slides\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-repeater-item-93a4eed swiper-slide\" role=\"group\" aria-roledescription=\"slide\"><div class=\"swiper-slide-bg\" role=\"img\" aria-label=\"banner-comprar-miel\"><\/div><a class=\"swiper-slide-inner\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ystanmiel.es\/en\/buy-honey\/\"><div class=\"swiper-slide-contents\"><\/div><\/a><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-33d02a4 elementor-hidden-desktop elementor-hidden-tablet elementor--h-position-center elementor--v-position-middle elementor-widget elementor-widget-slides\" data-id=\"33d02a4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;navigation&quot;:&quot;none&quot;,&quot;autoplay&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;pause_on_hover&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;pause_on_interaction&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;autoplay_speed&quot;:5000,&quot;infinite&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;transition&quot;:&quot;slide&quot;,&quot;transition_speed&quot;:500}\" data-widget_type=\"slides.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-swiper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-slides-wrapper elementor-main-swiper swiper\" role=\"region\" aria-roledescription=\"carousel\" aria-label=\"Slides\" dir=\"ltr\" data-animation=\"fadeInUp\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"swiper-wrapper elementor-slides\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-repeater-item-5d47579 swiper-slide\" role=\"group\" aria-roledescription=\"slide\"><div class=\"swiper-slide-bg\" role=\"img\" aria-label=\"banner-comprar-miel-movil\"><\/div><a class=\"swiper-slide-inner\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ystanmiel.es\/en\/buy-honey\/\"><div class=\"swiper-slide-contents\"><\/div><\/a><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Honey is one of the oldest natural foods consumed by humans and continues to hold a prominent place in today\u2019s diet.
