What crystalization means
Most people falsely believe that crystalised honey is bad. However, crystallization is a completely natural phenomenon that doesn’t influence the biological and nutritional qualities of honey.The speed of crystallization depends on the type of honey.For example Thyme honey is crystallized in 6-18 months after its production.

In case of crystalised honey we place the jar in warm water and it is liquidated again without being spoiled and without losing any of its qualities.
