such as heather and dandelion and autumn honeys like arbutus.

As for freshness, in time honey becomes old and loses some of its peculiarities. The ageing of the product, although inevitable, strongly depends on the temperature of conservation. It is best to store honey in cool places far from heat sources. Direct sunlight is also bad for conservation. Honey should always be protected from it in closed cupboards.
It is important to remember that honey is a hygroscopic product that can absorb humidity and odours. Therefore it is important to close the pot well after use.
