This practice is used by most honey packers with the main purpose of an easy bottling and to make the honey look cleaner and slow down the process of crystallization.īut this practice destroys the vitamins, antioxidants, minerals and antibiotic properties that can be found in honey in the process. Regular or commercial honey that you can find at the store has been pasteurized (this means that the honey was heated at 158 degrees F or more followed by a fast cooling). When I started beekeeping understood that the honey that I was producing was different than some of the honey that I bought in the past.Īnd this difference came in the way the honey was treated.

Characteristics Of Clover Honey Clover honey can be both raw or regular depending on how it was processed.īut it just takes a Google and Amazon search or standing in front of a supermarket shelf to understand that there are so many types of honey, floral sources, colors, health benefits, etc. In fact, this type of honey is so popular among consumers that most of them identify the characteristics of the clover honey as the standard taste, texture, and color of honey.
As we know, bees need water and floral sources to extract the nectar that they need to produce honey, and clover is one of their favorite flowers. So what is clover honey? Clover honey is produced by the bees with clover as their primary floral source. In this post, I will share with you what I have learned about clover honey and how is different from other types of honey – raw and regular.
