Why Does Honey Crystallize?

Crystallization is a natural sign of real honey. Here’s why it happens — and how to soften it.

• Real honey naturally crystallizes
• Crystals form from glucose separating
• Gentle warmth returns honey to liquid

How to Soften Crystallized Honey

Place your jar in warm (not boiling) water and gently stir. Avoid microwaving — heat over time preserves flavor and enzymes.

All Selby Family Honey is raw and may naturally crystallize — including our Wyoming Clover, California Orange Blossom, and Utah Clover varieties.
