Oh wow, what the hell. It's not enough to just blend all the honey into one, they add sweeteners and filler? Must be really profitable, I guess.

Heating, I can understand, it's a way to re-liquify crystallized honey. It's done at a low temperature over some time, so the taste remains mostly the same. Fresh honey straight out of the hive is the best, though.

Now I wonder if people would even buy real, untouched honey. It's less viscous than the usual stuff in stores, and it crystallizes/hardens after a while, so it may actually seem fake, but that's natural honey.



Grocery store honey crystallizes too. What I've found is that people who grew up on cheap honey just don't know what they're missing. Once they try the good stuff, they're ruined for the national brands.

And of course EVOO.
