Always opt for a glass jar. It helps maintain the colour, flavour and overall quality of your honey for a longer time compared to plastic or metal containers.

Keep your honey away from sunlight. Store it in a cool, dark spot in your pantry or cabinet to preserve its taste and texture.

Room temperature is ideal for storing honey. Avoid refrigeration, as it can cause crystallization and affect the taste. Excessive heat can also spoil the honey's quality.

Always ensure the container is tightly sealed to prevent moisture from getting in. Moisture can alter the flavour, colour and freshness of honey.

Never use a wet or dirty spoon to scoop out honey. Moisture is the biggest reason honey can spoil, so always keep it dry.
