Do You Have Multiple Locations? Where?
Why yes, we do! We’ve had our original honey shop-combined with savory extra virgin olive oil and more shop in Mystic, CT for quite a few years now! And as of 2019, we’ve opened our second location in wonderful Lahaska, PA.
Does Honey Have An Expiration
Honey stored in sealed containers can remain stable for decades and even centuries! However, All-natural honey is susceptible to physical and chemical changes during storage; it tends to darken and lose its aroma and flavor or crystallize.
My Jar of Honey is Hard. Is it Bad?
All natural honey crystallizes when not used – -this is normal for natural honey! The simple fix is to add heat. The quick fix is to place the honey in the microwave for 30 seconds, stir well, allow to cool for 20 seconds and then heat again for 30 seconds until the crystals dissolve.
- Quick Fix: You could also heat in the microwave for 30 seconds, stir well, allow to cool for 20 seconds then heat again for 30 seconds (if there are still granules needing to be dissolved). Stir again and cool as noted before reheating (if required).

heat gently to avoid damaging the honey)
- Place jar in a pot of warm water, set heat to medium-low and stir until crystals dissolve. You can also place the jar in a pot of hot water and leave it alone until it liquefies (not resting on heated element).

How Do Bees Make Honey?
Honey is the sweet fluid produced by honeybees from the nectar of flowers. Worker honeybees transform the floral nectar that they gather into honey by adding enzymes to the nectar and reducing the moisture.
What are Some Health Benefits of Honey?
Honey has many health benefits.
- Honey is rich in phenolic acids and flavonoids, which are a source of natural antioxidants and is free of fat and cholesterol!
- Honey has a healthy Glycemic Index (GI), meaning that its sugars can be gradually absorbed into the bloodstream to result in better digestion.We should try to avoid eating excessive high-glycemic foods which would prompt an elevated insulin release in our body as a result of the pancreas being stimulated to metabolize the sudden surge of glucose into the blood.
