How to store honey

It is a well-known fact that honey keeps for a long time. Nonetheless, as with other products of the same kind, this should not be taken to mean that the quality improves as time goes by: quite the opposite.
The first problem that can present itself is fermentation. If the honey has not been allowed to mature properly before extracting it from the beehive, it will have too much water. This alteration will be apparent after a few weeks. Fermented honey is easily recognizable: it appears frothy and is bubbly. The liquid part is often separated from the solid part, and the honey tastes and smells acid. Although it is not harmful to health, fermented honey is an adulterated product, and as such should be thrown away.
The risk of fermentation is greatest for those honeys that inevitably contain a high percentage of humidity, that is, spring honeys
