The Secret of RoseTulips Honey

Pure honey sourced from the Rila Mountains

Our Honeydew Honey is made by the collection of sweet liquid that honeybees find on the trees’ bark and leaves. It is generally higher in minerals and amino acids that floral honey. Honeydew Honey is considered to have higher antibacterial properties due to higher levels of glucose oxidase.
Honeydews are a great sweetener, since they have a lower proportion of sugar than honeys made from nectar.In addition, they have a higher percentage of polyphenols. These are the compounds that give honeydew its antioxidant properties. For this reason, the harvest is used on numerous occasions to soothe sore throats, bronchitis or pharyngitis.

Raw vs Filtered Honey

Raw honey is heated to a minimal temperature to reverse crystallisation. Later it is strained to remove foreign objects like honeycomb, bee wax, and other natural remains. Rose Tulips honey is raw and carefully strained.

Filtered honey is heated to higher temperatures to prevent for even longer time the natural process of crystallisation. Later if is processed through a filter for a more refine purification.

Honey Crystalization

What is crystallisation? It is a natural process that occurs in honey and helps its which aids its conservation. Depending on the nectar from which the honey is produced, some types crystallise faster than others.

Crystallisation prevention? If the honey is stored in the refrigerator, it will crystallise faster. Ideally, it should be kept at room temperature in a dry and airtight container, like our glass jar. Avoid contaminating the honey with wet spoons, bread or crumbs.

What to do if my honey has crystallised. Is it spoiled? No, crystallisation is a natural process and it is a sign that the honey was not initially treated under high temperature. Crystallisation can be reversed by heating. Place the honey container in a warm water bath for a period of time to transform the crystals back to liquid form.
