How should I store my honey?Updated 24 days ago

A short answer is that you should store it in room temperature. Honey does not require refrigeration.

In detail for best practice:

Our creamy honey is best served and stored in room temperature, around 18°C to 27°C. If your wildflower honey is stored at or above 40°C, its crystalline structures will melt into liquid state. If your honey is stored below 10°C, it will become very hard.

Our liquid honey is best stored at above 20°C as it will stay liquid that way for longer. Above 30°C will keep it liquid forever, but most people will consume all the honey fast enough to not require such storage temperature and the process of crystallization is very slow in honey like buckwheat. Bees typically store honey at around 33°C in the hives. Storage below 20°C will cause it to form crystals.
