If you are investing in a premium sweetener like all natural raw honey investing a little time in protecting your investment seems like a wise idea. Keep reading to find the proper temperatures, containers, and places to store your delicious raw honey...
Container:
It is important to store your honey in air tight containers: This is important because it helps to protect the water content of the honey. If water is allowed to evaporate and the water is thus extacted from the honey it will crystallize quicker. If you allow water to enter the honey you may have instances of fermentation. Honey will not ferment if its water content is under 17.1%. For long term storage of your honey ensure that it is sealed in air tight honey containers.
For best shelf stability store in glass jars. Some plastic containers still allow the honey to lose water content or can leech chemicals into your honey. For best storage in plastic use HDPE plastic. Stainless steel containers are also approved for long term bulk storage. Avoid all metals that are not stainless steel as corrosion will contaminate your honey. We have 3 kinds of glass honey containers that are perfect for storing honey.
