Compliance with Regulations

All our products comply with the highest local and international food safety standards, including the USDA and FDA honey labeling and quality requirements. Our packaging reflects accurate product information, including floral source, weight, and handling instructions.

Sustainable and Ethical Beekeeping

Why does honey crystallize?

Honey is a pure natural product. Its sugar content consists mainly of fructose and glucose. Over time, the glucose tends to separate from the honey, causing it to become solid or creamy. This process is called crystallization and is a sign of authenticity and quality.

Tip: If you prefer your honey to be liquid, simply place the jar in a water bath at max. 40 °C – it will quickly become clear and runny again.
