Sunflower honey
Sunflower honey is a typical production of central Italy. It has a bright yellow color which when it crystallizes (very quickly) becomes more cream-colored. With a light flavor and a pollen and "waxy" odor, it offers a refreshing sensation.
COUNTRY OF PRODUCTION: ITALY
Storage conditions: Store at room temperature in a dry place
The Process of Crystallization of Honey
Any honey can be in crystallized form with the exception of Acacia honey, Chestnut honey and honeydew honey which generally tend not to crystallize.
Crystallization of honey is a natural process that can occur over time. When honey contains a greater amount of glucose than fructose, it is more likely to crystallize. Crystallization begins when glucose molecules aggregate to form crystals. These crystals diffuse through the honey, giving the solution a thicker, grainier consistency.
The speed and extent of crystallization depend on various factors, including temperature and the composition of the honey.
Crystallization can take from some days to some weeks to fully develop.
