How to Store Honey

Honey can last a long time at room temperature. It is best kept in a sealed container in a cool, dry, dark location.

Refrigeration is fine, but it will cause the honey to develop a grainy texture and become semi-solid. Freezing can preserve honey well, with little to no graininess, but will be very thick to dispense. Freezer temperatures slow glucose molecule migration and crystal formation.

Avoid temperatures higher than room temperature to prevent flavor changes and color changes.
