Storing and Serving Hot Honey
Storage Tips: Keep your hot honey at room temperature in a tightly sealed container. Do not refrigerate. Just store it in a pantry or cupboard away from direct sunlight.
Crystallization & Re-Liquefying: Over time, honey can naturally crystallize – this is totally normal. If your hot honey starts to thicken or form crystals, just place the sealed container in a bowl of warm water to return it to a smooth, pourable texture.
How to Serve: You can drizzle straight from the bottle or use a spoon for exact measurements. For precise drizzling over pizza, wings or desserts, our squeeze bottle cap gives you great control.
Shelf Life & Safety: While properly preserved honey does not expire, we recommend using our hot honey within 6 months of the sell-by date stamped on the bottle, due to the other ingredients included.
