Description: Is collected from the South of Armenia, from the highlands of Syunik region. The numerous layers of the regional flora that live in desert and semi-desert to pre-alpine and alpine surface at a height of 300-2800 meters above the sea level, constitute the main peculiarity of our honey. Thus, in every jar of our honey you will discover the whole range of aromas and tastes found within the Armenian wilderness and nature. Every regional flower and plant, from which the bees collect nectar; has medical and healing properties that have long been used to treat various illnesses. Our bees live and carry out their daily activities in the heartlands of virgin nature, in an environment that is far from settlements and highways. The beehives are only made of natural wood. In order to prevent and, if necessary, to treat bee diseases we use medication that is acceptable in the organic agriculture and is exclusively made from herbal constituents. What is more, the bees are always left with natural honey for wintertime. Our organic honey does not contain any syrups, colorants and additives. This is ensured by the results of our honey analyses that are annually carried out by the German QSI laboratory and presented to our consumers, those who appreciate the quality of our honey.We have included some additional pictures of "Bloomed" crystalized honey for you to see how it may look, here is some useful information about bloomed honey.Why Does Honey Crystallize?First, a quick science lesson. Honey is made of two ingredients: sugar and water. The sugar is dissolved in the water, but there's more sugar than the water can hold. Put another way, there's not enough water to keep the sugar dissolved forever. So, the two ingredients will eventually separate. This results in the formation of crystals. These crystals can range in size and texture, depending on the type of honey. It also depends on the sugar-to-water ratio of the product. In general, honeys with more sugar will crystallize quicker because it's more difficult for the water to keep holding it. Likewise, "raw honey crystallizes faster because it contains trace amounts of pollen or beeswax," which have been filtered out from processed honey," explains Weintraub.It's worth noting that it's common (and normal) for honey to crystallize. In fact, any raw honey that sits in your cupboard for some time will likely crystallize. Also, contrary to popular belief, it doesn't mean that the honey is adulterated or poor quality. It's actually a good sign, as it means your honey is more raw and less processed—since, again, such honey has pollen or beeswax, which increases the rate of crystallization.How to Fix Crystallized HoneyCrystallized honey is safe to eat. However, if you're not a fan of the texture and look, it's possible to remove the crystals. The simplest method calls for warm water and a bowl. "Simply add your jar of honey to the bowl, then fill [it] with warm water from the tap until it reaches about half the height of the jar," explains Weintraub. Carefully open the jar and stir the honey with a spoon until it reaches your desired consistency. This can take about 45 minutes, depending on the degree of crystallization, but it will produce the smoothest and most consistent texture. What's more, after the honey has de-crystallized, its texture should be just like its original consistency. The key is to take your time and stir slowly to avoid accidentally getting water in the jar, shares Weintraub. From there, you can use the sweetener as you normally would in your favorite honey recipes.How to Stop Honey from CrystallizingThe best way to keep honey from crystallizing is to store it at room temperature, notes Weintraub. The most ideal storage place is in a dark cupboard away from direct sunlight. Avoid storing it in the refrigerator, as cooler temperatures will make honey crystallize faster. Finally, keep in mind that all honey will eventually crystallize, as it's a natural side effect of its chemical makeup. To avoid it altogether, enjoy the honey within a few months of buying it.
