Heat can change honey's aroma, flavor, color and some of its naturally occurring compounds. Choose the form and preparation method based on the recipe rather than assuming that a heated honey product has the same characteristics as an unheated one.
How should honey be stored?
Keep honey sealed and store it according to the product label. Honey can crystallize naturally; crystallization does not by itself mean that honey is fake.
