How to keep the rest
To maintain its quality, store honey in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure the container is tightly sealed to prevent moisture absorption and preserve its flavor. If crystallization occurs, it is a natural process and does not affect the quality; simply warm the jar gently in warm water to return it to a liquid state.
