Does Pure Honey Crystallize? Yes, and Here's Why

Bzzz PH Benguet and Mt. Province pure honey bottles

Yes, pure honey crystallizes, and it's completely natural. If your BZZZ PH honey turns cloudy or solid, it hasn't gone bad and nothing was added. It's simply what real honey does over time.

Why it happens

Honey is mostly natural sugars. Over time, one of them, glucose, slowly forms tiny crystals. How fast this happens depends on the flowers the bees visited and on the temperature where you keep it. Cooler spots, like an air-conditioned room, make it happen faster.

Is crystallized honey still good?

Yes! It tastes the same and has no expiry. Some people even prefer it thick, spread on toast or pandesal.

How to make it runny again

  1. Place the closed bottle in a bowl of warm water. Not boiling, and don't put the bottle directly in a pot on the stove.
  2. Let it sit for 10–15 minutes, then stir.
  3. Repeat until smooth. Avoid the microwave.

How to store your honey

Keep it tightly closed in a cool, dry place. No need to refrigerate.
