Honey Stirring.
Heilbronner Gertenhonig is filled into jars in liquid form and crystallizes after a certain time. This is how it develops the authentic natural crunch.
In this way, we follow our claim, which we have also formulated in our mission statement: Heilbronner Gartenhonig should remain as natural as possible, which is why we do not usually stir it.
Rapeseed honey, on the other hand, crystallizes quickly and becomes very hard in the jar. Therefore, we make an exception with rapeseed honey and stir it, but not by machine, but by hand with a so-called "up and down stirrer". This works similar to a potato masher.
The stirrer is used to move the honey twice a day for a few days after harvesting. This prevents large crystals from forming, and the honey maintains its finely stiff consistency and remains spreadable.
Which processing method and honey consistency do you prefer? We welcome your feedback in the comments section below this article or via our contact page :-)
